Auction DetailsSeller Type Private

Location Shropshire

Country United Kingdom

Project car reimported from USA

Original RHD car

Complete, straight and largely solid

Rare manual gearbox model

This is an early 240, from 1968. It’s also one with a very unusual backstory. Originally a right-hand-drive UK car, it was exported to the USA over 30 years ago

and came back around a decade ago, but has sat in covered storage ever since as part of a private collection.

It has never been re-registered in the UK, so the next owner will have to apply for a V5C.

Older restoration

Exported to the USA in the 1980s

Re-imported in early 2010s

Tax and MOT exempt

Certificate of title from USA

NOVA completed

Dry stored as part of private collection since 2011

No previous history

Will need full recommissioning or light restoration

Sold as project car in need of work

THE INTERIOR

Very good black leather

Decent black carpets

Walnut veneers in straight and tidy order with minor wear

Good door cards

Excellent headlining

Period radio

Clean and tidy overall condition

THE EXTERIOR 

Restored many years ago in two-tone blue

Overall straight and tidy car with very good panels

Minor rust bubbles on door bottoms and valance panel

Will need welding underneath around rear jacking points

Generally solid elsewhere

Barn-find condition with authentic dust!

US-spec wheels and trims

Whitewall tyres

Paint finish generally okay

Decent chrome and trim with minor pitting

THE MECHANICS 

2,483 short-stroke XK six-cylinder

Four-speed manual
