Town Claverley
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
Factory overdrive
Currently a non-runner but parts ordered and will be running by end of auction
Has been running recently and known to run well and hold good oil pressure
