MERCEDES SSK GAZELLE 1929 REPLICA NEW PARTS NOT A KIT CAR FORD BASED CLASSIC CAR

MERCEDES SSK GAZELLE 1929 REPLICA

PRODUCED BY CLASSIC MOTOR CARRAIGES IN FLORIDA USA. THIS IS NOT A KIT CAR

THIS IS A RARE CAR. THEY WERE SOLD IN LIMITED NUMBERS. ESPECIALLY IN RIGHT HAND DRIVE. THESE DO NOT COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN. ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. ALSO IT IS CORRECTLY REGISTERED WHICH IS WHERE A LOT OF UNSUSPECTING BUYERS GET CAUGHT OUT.

THIS IS BASED ON A 1988 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE RUNNING GEAR IT WAS BUILT IN 1991 AND REGISTERED IN THE UK IN 1992. IT HAS A LARGE BOX SECTION LADDER CHASSIS AND FIBREGLASS GELCOAT PANELS SO SHOULD LAST FOREVER.

The view when driving this car is fabulous. the long bonnet. cycle wings each side sweeping up to the chrome grill. It draws attention wherever it goes and makes people smile. The willing V6 engine combined with low weight propels this car along like a proper classic sports car but without the restoration fees every few years. It has only done 9300 miles due to only being used on sunny days and fun outings. Unlike most kit cars this is a four seater with proper seat belts so even your friends can enjoy it. We have used it on occasions for weddings so you can earn money from her too.

Ive never bothered to fit a stereo as the sound of the V6 (although not loud) is great. All mechanical parts are the same as UK Ford Granada's so easy to source and run. She's also good on fuel due to the light weight.

SPECIFICATION: Ford 2. 3 litre V6. 4 speed manual. chrome Mangels wire wheels. filter king. lucas spotlights on chrome bar. AA & RAC badges. side folding visors. 5 new Fulda tyres. solid wood dashboard. Vintage reproduction Speedo. tacho and gauges. large chrome grille (+ new Mercedes folding elbem). burgundy leather throughout. full set of wet weather gear including side doors (all in good condition). private number plate (valued at £900) folding windscreen. chrome bumpers. etc

NEW PARTS: Carburetor (£240). chrome airfilter. starter motor (£80). Springalex wood rimmed steering wheel. whitewalls. a-oga horn. alloy and wood gear knob/handbrake lever. steering rack. various balljoints. chrome mirrors. washer bottle. electric fuel pump. chrome fog light. spark plugs. distributor cap.

LEGALS: She comes with a full years MOT with no advises. Has many spare parts. logbook in my name. many old MOTs and some receipts

FAULTS: Its not a new car and has signs of age (some would call patina). leather bonnet strap is missing but it only for show. a cat has used the passenger seats to sharpen its claws. unless you change the seats she would not be suitable for people over 6ft tall. The windscreen wipers are next to useless but why would you want to drive it in the rain. no stereo but wiring for one. Amazingly little for a 25 year old car.

She never fails to start first time and runs like clockwork (thanks to the new carb). is a pleasure to drive. even has a reasonable size boot!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN OLD FASHIONED CLASSIC WITHOUT THE RESTORATION PROBLEMS. THIS COULD BE FOR YOU?
