I have done the whole thing myself.
Yes I could have done the same work to an Aston and asked 150k but that’s not me. I built it for the love of FORD… My job is done, it’s now ready for its new owner to enjoy for another 45years.
Registered as a Historic Vehicle
Tax and Mot exempt.
V5 in my name
1yrs Mot certificate
New Owners manual and an original dealer brochure as seen in pics. Other than that no previous history. It’s pretty much a 45 year old new car, ready for you to do the history..
As you probably know , you Couldn’t build one to this standard for this price.
Harriers always were rare, Ford only built 1000 in Diamond White. Rarer in this condition, possibly one of the cleanest out there.
