Description
The car was repainted in its original Damask Red by the owner in the mid 1980s and is in great condition with minor paint touch-ups and has recently been polished to a gleaming finish. The vehicle comes with a slew of paperwork, including an official certificate "A "British Motor Industry Heritage" detailing and verifying the car's identity, as well as a letter from the V8 register stating "23rd July 1973 it was dispatched from the factory as one of 217 launch models ready for the dealers to begin selling the model on the 15th August 1973." There were 402 Damask Red chrome bumper V8s built, with only 69 having rubber bumpers."
The current owner's husband is a true pedantic enthusiast who has kept the car in immaculate condition for the past 28 years, and now it's time for a lucky buyer to take over the car.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Over the last three years, the fuel tank has been replaced, the radiator has been renovated, the brake disc has been replaced, the alternator has been replaced, the heating system has been upgraded, and the carbuetor has been renovated. The engine was completely rebuilt by ELVA motor in Stockholm earlier in the 1990s, and the owner upgraded the cam shaft with an ISKY 256 supercam and stainless steel sport exhaust because the lady owner wanted more power and a better sound.
-
Interior condition
The original Navy blue textile seat, as well as the headliner, are in great condition. A wooden trim has been added to the interior trim, which adds a nice touch. Clean and tidy boot space, as well as the original steering wheel, door trims, and other odds and ends "look at the pictures"
-
Exterior condition
It's been freshly polished and shines beautifully, and the old repainted paintwork has stood the test of time with only minor paint touch-ups. With original wheels and good tires, the chrome looks fantastic.
-
General condition
This car has it all: a spotless history, diligent maintenance, only 5 previous owners, factory car, and a joy to drive with that lovely raring V8 sound.
