Description

Outstanding nut and bolt full restoration on a new heritage shell.
Built at no expense spared by a very capable professional.
Whilst it is not a factory V8, in my opinion it is super value with a cost exceeding £50k. It is ready to be used on a regular basis with no work required.

Originally purchased in 2014, dry stored until 2016. Then was built using a donor car.
At the time before paint, the car was fully rust proofed. It was then sent to the paintshop to be painted and a professional tilt & slide sunroof was also fitted along with a louvered bonnet to allow better engine cooling.

A 3. 9 litre V8 engine was sourced from a very low mileage Land Rover Discovery. The engine was fully checked and then fitted along with a brand new Elbrook carb.
An 8 branch manifold has been fitted along with a fully stainless steel exhaust system.
Once the body was painted and the alterations completed, the original car was stripped and built onto the new body.
The front & rear suspension was refurbished & the steering rack was replaced.
A new style 5 speed gearbox was fitted along with an uprated prop shaft.
Front & rear brakes were replaced with new parts.
Rear axle was completely overhauled.
5 new mini light wheels were fitted along with new tyres.
The interior was replaced with quality trim and high quality leather seats.
A new headlining was fitted to incorporate the tile & slide sunroof.
A new walnut dashboard was fitted along with all the necessary guages.
A new bespoke wiring loom was fitted.
New radiator and oil cooler fitted along with a new battery.
