Silver with black interior. BMW 2.5 six cylinder, twin carb engine and four speed Getrag gearbox. This car was first MOT'd just
before the SVA tests so it has been built as a more faithful copy of the original than is now possible. The car was constructed
using all new or reconditioned parts by myself and local specialists when their arms could be twisted. It comes with side screens
and a tailored tonneau cover in double duck. There is a hood frame and windscreen bows, but as I never intended using the car
in the wet, I didn't see the point in getting a hood made.
I chose the engine/carb configuration because of the lineage to the Bristol engined cars and I'm glad I did because it really looks
the part under the bonnet! The steering, brakes and suspension is off an MGB - the precision and feel of which has impressed
me (it makes me feel sorry for all those years of being snotty about B's!).
Inside, I've tried to replicate the ambience of the original car's dash and carpet pattern. The door panels even have fabric map
pockets. The pictures shown here were taken a couple of MOT's ago now so the exhaust doesn't exit from the side now (looked
great, but was too loud) and there's a row of tonneau fasteners (Lift the Dot not Tenax) on the rear deck. The car has only
covered about 250 miles since then so the condition is much the same as the pictures.The car is for sale with a fresh MOT
and as it is Tax exempt I'll throw in a years Road Fund License as well!
Why am I selling it? Well, a four seat classic would mean the family could enjoy quality automotive time together, but then again it
is nice to get out on the road on your own sometimes...
I think that £15,000 is a fair price for the car, I really think that the car is worth that and I don't do haggling, so please no
offers.
