mike xflow Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 My car was built and registered on a Q plate 18/6/87. It's red, long cockpit, clamshell wings, 4speed, live axle and now zero miles after receipts for a "1700" xflow engine rebuild to super sprint, new 234 cam 135bhp (with supersprint rocker cover). Chrome rollover bar, 32mm gauge. Two 40 dcoe webers, refurbed and rejetted for 234cam. New sports radiator, alternator, sports starter, fuel pump, water pump, electronic dizzie. Five 14" revolution wheels, red "spokes". VDO instruments. All the usual weather gear, luggage rack, hood bag. Black cloth seats, not high back. Chrome headlights, 7 grill. Spare 4 minilite style well shod wheels. Spare 5speed type 5 Sierra gearbox with ali bell housing (chassis mod needed to fit) but the current gearbox is 4 speed and may be a rare AVO Rocket and very smooth). Bonnet, all wings and nosecone resprayed red. Two car covers. Car is now in bits. Engine and connected carbs on a stand (over £3000 spent), all other bits off the chassis. £1000 should get the parts needed to complete to an exceptional standard (eg narrower front suspension, high back seats, seat harness, smarter instruments, new master cylinder, nuts, bolts etc.) Oh for a nearby lockup double garage, technical skill and the energy and non-creaking joints of someone 20 years younger. With less than a hundred hours work this could sell for over £12,000. In fact, I'll probably try to buy it back.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
