Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic and Performance Car Spectacular Sale 2024 on Saturday the 1st of June, Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 6SG.
Produced from October 1973 through to December 1974, this is one of just 3, 500 UK-supplied AVO cars built by Ford at their Aveley plant
It's an impressive restoration with the emphasis on presenting the car as a 'showroom fresh' standard-production example
Superbly finished in Daytona Yellow with the correct black cloth RS interior by Aldridge Trimmers
Fitted with the correct 2-litre OHC, 100bhp four-cylinder, fully overhauled as was the gearbox
Built with great attention to detail with many new OEM panels and refinished in Daytona Yellow after finding it in red with a black vinyl roof
All the suspension, braking, fuel lines and tank have been replaced leaving nothing to chance and a refreshed set of instruments confirm the car has covered a mere 250-odd miles since being returned to the road at the end of 2023
Fully inspected by the AVO Owners Club Registrar to confirm its authenticity, matching numbers, including the optional wood trim and 6J Ford RS Alloy road wheels with 175/ 60 tyres
Supplied with full photographic evidence of the build and a host of invoices for the parts purchased, this represents a rare opportunity to own a standard restored example for the purists amongst us
