HERE WE HAVE A PROPER WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING FOR SALE. ITS A 1972 SUNBEAM RAPIER FITTED WITH A 4. 0 V 8 ROVER ENGINE AND MANUAL GEARBOX. THIS CAR IS A UNFINISHED PROJECT BUT NEEDS VERY VERY MINIMAL WORK TO FINISH. ITS A ROCK SOLID H 120 RAPIER SHELL. WITH IT BEING A 1972 ITS TAX EXEMPT SO GIVES YOU MORE MONEY TO SPEND ON PETROL :-). I BOUGHT IT OFF A CHAP WHO HAS OWNED IT FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS SPENT OVER £6000 ON THE VEHICLE TO GET TO THE STAGE ITS AT NOW. UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS STAGE HE RAN OUT OF MONEY SO HE HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING RENT OR SELLING THE CAR. AS YOU CAN SEE THE CAR HAS BEEN DONE WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED. THE ENGINE IS BASICALLY BRAND NEW AS HE HAS HAD IT BUILT WITH ALL NEW PARTS FROM THE CRANK RIGHT UP TO THE MANIFOLDS. HOLLEYCARB. OCKERS ETC ETC. ITS FITTED WITH A 4 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX. IT HAS NEW BUCKET SEATS FITTED. THE CAR HAS A FORD REAR AXLE FITTED. ESCORT/CAPRI. HAS NEW ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION ALL ROUND AND HAS A SPARE HEAVY DUTY DIFF INSERT IN THE BOOT. HAS WELLER WHEELS FITTED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE FRONTS DONT MATCH THE BACKS. HAS A PERFORMANCE ALLOY RADIATOR FITTED. HAS LOTS OF SPARES WITH IT ASWELL. 1 WEEKEND AT THE MOST WOULD SEE THIS CAR ON THE ROAD. SILLS. RAKES ETC. THE VEHICLE NEEDS SETTING UP AS IN CARB SETTING UP AND THE POINTS IN THE DISTRIBUTOR ETC. WE HAVE HAD IT RUNNING AND DRIVING. ALSO NEEDS THE CLUTCH BLEEDING. THE CAR HAS BEEN PAINTED MATT BLACK BUT REALLY WANTS A PUKKA PAINT JOB ON IT TO FINISH IT OFF. YOU WILL HAVE TO SOURCE THE BADGES AND LITTLE CHROME BITS AS I DONT THINK THEY ARE THERE. MIND YOU IF YOU SEARCH THROUGH THE BOXES OF SPARES WITH IT YOU MIGHT FIND THEM !!!!ANY QUESTIONS RING BOB ON 6. VIEWING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS YOU WILL NOT BE TURNING UP AND TRYING TO BID ME DOWN AFTER AUCTION ENDS. VIEWING IS RECOMMENDED TO REALLY APPRECIATE THE CAR. NO TIME WASTERS. ANYONE WITH LESS THAN 0 FEEDBACK WILL HAVE TO MESSAGE ME BEFORE BIDDING OTHERWISE I WILL CANCEL TOUR BID. COLLECTION WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION ENDING UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED.
