1952 Austin Atlantic V 8 Rat Rod
Reluctantly for sale sue to a change in circumstances.
Over the last few years the car has gone through a great change from a rough old original atlantic to the car you see here.
The car has been lowered and had a roof chop. It is fitted with solenoid operated door locks and electric windows. The car has had the majority of the chrome trim removed and is painted satin black.
The car is powered by a Ford Fiat head V 8 which sports correct period tuning. Parts of twin Strombergs. duel point duel coil distributor and Elderbrock heads. Drive is through a matching 3 SP gearbox.
The interior is original and would benefit from a retire but can be used as there are four original Irvin seat belts fitted. The speedo has been swapped for a GPS item. The wiring is all original and really could do with being replaced.
The fuel tank has been swapped for an old bomber de ice tank and the car has many period extras from the 40's/50's hot rod scene.
The car has not been on the show scene and offers a great opportunity to own and develop further a fantastic British hot rod.
