This is a very solid example of a 1967 Mk1 BGT. However. this is not a car for the purists! It is heavily modified. most significantly with the fitting of the Moss Supercharger kit (current cost around £3k). The engine is a +60 thous over bore that I built for my last BGT in 2004. with a Piper 270 cam and a gas flowed unleaded head. I transferred it to this car in 2006/7 when I bought this car and scrapped my last one. At the same time I source a 3 sync OD box to replace the non od box that was originally fitted. This was serviced and modified so that it only operates in 4th to prevent damage from power of planned supercharger upgrade. The supercharger was fitted in 2008. but I never completed the set up and the car ended up in the garage for 5 years until I took it to Entune in Bolton in Aug 2013 to get it set up and running. The car has a variety of other upgrades. including improved brakes. suspension and alloy wheels. The car has been restored in the past and is very solid underneath. Panel fits are consistent with a home restoration. so it looks good. but is not near concours standards. Mechanically in excellent shape.

A good solid Mk1 BGT and a rare opportunity to acquire a supercharged BGT.

Car is located near Northwich in Cheshire. About 7 miles from Jcn 19 of M6 and 3 miles from Jcn 10 of M56. Viewing recommended. please bring evidence of insurance to test drive.
