VAUXHALL / OPEL MONZA 3.0E MARK 1 - SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION, CONCOURS WINNER! for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 180 votes

In a truly outstanding original condition. Supplied with a box full of trophies deservedly awarded over the years in various concours competitions.

 

This Opel Monza 3. 0E is believed to be one of just four MK1 examples still taxed in the United Kingdom and is presented in a condition that is really not far from being a concours contender again in the future.

 

Finished in metallic Opal Green. this vehicle features the later 1979 “C” specification with an upgraded green velour interior trim and enhanced instrument display. It also features the optional Ronal 15” alloy wheels and a fully functioning tilt and slide sunroof.

 

The fuel injected 3. 0E engine offers an ample 180bhp with a super smooth automatic transmission providing power to the rear wheels. Outstanding quality of ride was assured due to the class leading fully independent rear suspension.

 

All of the original features are maintained on this superb example. The original windscreen. with built in aerial and even the sticker advising the running in procedure. is still there (and highly prized and coveted by other owners). The original service book is still in its holder in the passenger footwell with several service stamps from early in the cars' life. All chromework is in nearly unblemished condition and there are additional components in the spares supply. The original radio/cassette player will be supplied (along with the original instruction manual) but has been upgraded to a later radio/CD player. The parcel shelf has had additional speakers fitted but the original. uncut parcel shelf is also supplied. Other spare parts that have been acquired over the years will go with the car. including belts. bulbs and a replacement cylinder head! A set of rare dealer service manuals are also there. ensuring the next owner has the required information to properly maintain the car in the future.

 

I have just driven the vehicle 120 miles and it ran faultlessly with the water temperature. oil pressure and ammeter needles all positioned perfectly on their respective gauges.

 

The vehicle has recently had a major service. including.

 

Supply and fit brake master cylinder

Refurbish 4 x brake callipers and replace brake pads

Replace exhaust system

Replace water pump and flush cooling system

Recondition starter motor

Recondition alternator

Replace wiper blades and bulbs as necessary

Replace tailgate struts having sourced correct specification and appearance items

 

Following this major service (a bill is on file totalling £2288. 26). the vehicle passed an MOT test with no advisories. This is valid until 9th December 2016 and it has covered just 1000 miles since. currently displaying 83150 which is. I am sure. correct. There is a current HPI report with no adverse information and the spare key is with the car. still in its original leather wallet.

 

A regular attendee on the club circuit (still displaying the clubs' badge in the rear window) and requiring absolutely nothing to enjoy. The reserve price has been set at a sensible level. reflecting the condition and scarcity of the vehicle and is. after all. half the value of a 3. 0 litre Capri!

 

Please call 01379 677177 or 07718 385168 at any time to discuss further. Additional images available upon request.

 

Viewing at any time. including evenings and weekends. prior to bidding is encouraged. Payment and collection within seven days of auction end please. Bank transfer prior to collection preferred please. Delivery. at actual extra cost. can be arranged to any UK or European destination.

 

LOCATED JUST 90 MINUTES FROM LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET. COLLECTION FROM DISS RAILWAY STATION ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

 

Many thanks for looking and good luck!
