The Appeal
This is where the image of a 'compact executive' car began. The 3500 is a V8-powered, beautifully styled classic that continues to make any hot-headed enthusiast a little weak at the knees. There's quite a level of performance and charisma under the bonnet, and they've since only grown in reputation. Of course, the impressive motorsport reputation helped!
This 3500 offers an interesting history, having been originally supplied to South Africa before being registered in the UK in 1996. It's been very nicely upgraded in recent years, ranging from a 5-speed manual gearbox, Weber 4-barrel carb and an Edelbrock inlet manifold - not to mention power steering and electronic ignition. Recently serviced with plenty of investment, it's now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
