This car was previously a multi show winner and Volksworld cover car in the late 90's. It is currently has a full feature in the Jan2015 Volksworld issue.





I bought the Car in 2002 and since then have been restoring the car over the last 11 years.
Since I have owned the car It has had a full bare metal body off restoration with new seals, cables, brakes, hoses, plugs, fittings, front beam, lines.....pretty much everything.

This is a full metal car with amazing paintwork which really has to been seen in the metal to be appreciated. The underneath is just as good as on top.
Every inch of the car was painted inside and out. Wheel wells were finished in clear stone chip. Every part of this car is detailed to a very high standard. The rear valance is removable and has been modified to only have a single cut out.

The Engine is a strong 1776 Built by Bernie Smith and runs great. Only a couple of hundred miles since refresh. Engle 110, Counterweighted Crank, ported 040 heads. Lightened flywheel. New satin tinware, full flow oil system, Berg and flat4 Pulley, (NEW) Twin NOS Italian 40IDF webers with Malpassi regulator and CSP linkage (ramair filters). Solid mounted Carter freeway flyer Gearbox with extended 4th which cruises at 80 all day at low rpm. Full stainless exhaust system, 1 5/8 stainless header with stainless twin quiet packs. Sounds amazing!

Erco wide 5 wheels with zero offsets up front. 205/70ZR15 Pirelli P4000 rears 145SR15 MICHELIN XZX up front on dropped spindles.

Brand new custom sewfine interior in the highest quality leather finish vinyl. The seat frames are double powder coated. Gene Berg shifter and new Newton and Commercial carpet. Custom headliner.

New 12v detailed wiring loom and fully functional semaphores.(with rare flashing stalk set to flash) The car has immaculate pop out rear windows, a removable rear valance with deleted twin cutouts and single cutout replacement.


The Car is immaculate on top, underneath and everywhere in-between, the detailed pan is amazing.
It has had less than 200 miles put on it since restoration is always garaged and driven in the dry. Of course this car is exempt from Road tax and MOT

I have well over £20,000+ in the car.

£12,800
