Description
Ok for those that don’t know; this is a very rare car (only around 800 were made) and this is probably the only convertible in the UK and one of ten sixty three's world wide. However 880's that are not convertibles are pretty common so parts are easily available. Basically, everything but the top
There are also some videos at (L8up) on u tube. - details above
This car is nova clear, it is registered to me and is on UK plates and it is ready for you to drive away. It is from Reno USA and is completely rust free. Mileage is 69917 and is an historic vehicle so it's Tax and Mot exempt.
Drive’s well, But could do with a bit of rebushing and a tune up. She will need to be "run-in" by the new owner as it has a new engine and once done you will need to give her a service to remove all of the heavier rebuild oil. Glass is all good chome is nice see pics
On the upside I will consider any Part Exchange or project car/ truck camper that’s pre 1970.
