To be sold without reserve

A desirable manual/overdrive-equipped UK model, this 3.4-litre Mk2 is understood to be largely original and un-restored except for new sills and a repaint carried out in the early 1990s. The car had been stored for approximately 12 years prior to November 2008 when it was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Harrogate sale (Lot 662) while expired MoTs indicate only 8,000-or-so miles covered by three owners since 1983. Re-commissioned prior to sale in 2008, it benefits from overhauled brakes and an engine fully rebuilt earlier that year. The car has been kept in museum storage since acquisition and will require further re-commissioning before returning the road, while the engine, which was reinstalled only 200 miles ago, still requires running in. '882 XUK' is finished in Carmine Red with nicely patinated original navy blue leather interior, the latter re-carpeted and equipped with working Motorola radio. The vehicle is offered with sundry invoices, old-style logbook, original handbook, expired MoT (January 2009) and Swansea V5. Chromed wire wheels and Coombes-type rear spats are the only notified deviations from factory specification.

No Reserve.
