Description
This excellent example of the highly desirable factory V8 was in the same ownership for 41 years prior to the current keeper’s ownership, and during that time was been stripped down and meticulously restored and improved, resulting in a very fine motor car indeed. The restoration began in 1995 and continued for a number of years. The work included an extensive body rebuild, incorporating new three-piece sills, front wings, rear half wings, and all the other areas usually requiring attention. The mechanics have been overhauled, the wheels replaced, stainless steel exhaust has been fitted, along with plumbed-in power steering, electronic ignition and uprated front discs and callipers. As you can see from the photographs, the opalescent dark blue paintwork is in excellent condition. The interior has been improved with walnut dash and centre console, and has been professionally upholstered including part-leather seats. The headlining is like new and quality factory-type footwell mats have been fitted. The underside is in excellent structural order and is very clean and tidy – nothing to do there. The engine bay is nicely detailed. The powerful V8 engine, which still has its original cast iron manifolds and pancake air filters, runs as sweet as a nut. Driving the car is an exhilirating experience, with lots of power, smooth overdrive and back axle, and very efficient brakes. The five matching tyres are all pretty much like new. Comes with V5C, Heritage Certificate, file of invoices and old MOT certificates, workshop manual and handbook. MOT to August 2026.
