Beschreibung
This brilliant Scimitar is finished in the great colour combination of Lemon Yellow with a re-trimmed black interior and sunroof (by Vamped Trimming). It houses a 3L v6 Ford Essex and has a Borg-Warner 35 Automatic transmission, which was capable of reaching 120mph back in its day! It is also a rare car with only 4, 311 being produced too.
Over recent years, the car has had an exceptional amount invested into it, with countless invoices for all of the following:
- Axles
- Front brakes: rebuilt calipers / new TRW pads / recent discs / new brake pipes / new brake hoses
- Rear brakes: new TRW calipers / new brake shoes / new brake pipes / new brake hose
- New front tyres / Good rear tyres
- New front wheel bearings
- Recent Spax adjustable front shocks
- New Spax adjustable rear shocks
- New front polyurethane anti roll bar mount kit
- New front anti roll bar links with polyurethane bushes
- New differantial oil
- Silver Dunlop wheels
Engine:
- New stainless steel rocker cover bolts (Burton)
- New rubber rocker cover gaskets (Burton)
- Recored and upgraded radiator, all copper (Guildford radiators) Silicone coolant hoses
- Mew thermostat (Burton)
- Manual choke conversion
- Stainless steel exhaust pipes
Electric:
- New upgraded 75amp alternator
- New Bosch battery
- Electronic ignition
- Silicone HT leads
- New electronic 10v instrument stabiliser New MP3 stereo
- New front speakers
- Refurbished wiper motor
- Upgraded front headlights (halogen)
- Stainless steel fuel tank
- Outriggers in very good condition (nearside repaired by Redhill classic)- -- New front seatbelts (Securon)
Subsequently, this car is the perfect drivers car; it retains a good oil pressure and doesn't overheat like so many other examples. It has also featured on the Antiques Road Trip, as shown in the last photo (covering many hundreds of miles in the process).
The only area that slightly lets the car down, are the cracks in parts of the paintwork. Unfortunately, we haven't had the time to re-spray a few areas and once these have been done, this car will no doubt be one of the best Scimitars in the country.
Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested, or if you have any questions. Thanks
