THIS IS A SERIOUS RESTORATION PROJECT.

Mileage 82. 00.

I have owned the car since 1975 and have all the relevant paperwork. but it has not been driven and has been in storage since December 1979. My intention was to replace the chassis but have never actually done so.

I have removed the body from the chassis and removed most of the paintwork (the original colour was French Blue but was re-sprayed red and white in 1977).    

The engine is still in situ and can be heard running.

Webber carbs.

 Oil pressure 35 PSI (hot)

 Compression test shows readings of (180. 80. 00. 80)

Engine rebuilt in 1976

Head rebuilt in 1979 (Burton Engineering)

 Prior to 1979 I replaced the following:

water pump

oil pump

clutch

new carb seals

The following are missing:

fuel gauge sender unit. trunking between carb and air filter. pair of front caliper pistons. 2pairs rear caliper pistons. front side light bezells. near side tourque arm. brake master cylinder (cylinder piston damaged). rear suspension bump stops.

The following are damaged:

I am interested having restored a S4 SE some years ago. What is the registration, do you have the SORN, can you prove ownership with no liabilities. Could I view vehicle.
