vauxhall velox / cresta 1956 for sale
Current customer rating: (435 votes ) based onIt actually pains me to do this but up fpr sale is my 1956 vauxhall velox!!!
I bought this car as a project quite a while ago and was gonna get her up and running as a weekend cruiser. I was out of work at the time and had free days on my hands. Now having a job and am just switching to a new more involved job. i really don't forsee me ever completing her :(
When i bought her she had been sitting for many years looking pretty sad for herself. No screens trims etc etc. I engine turned freely though and i managed to get her up and running only to discover she was only firing on 4. Sticky piston rings i first thought and after a strip down it turned out to be a head gasket. I only managed to procure a head gasket 2 months ago (rocking horse droppings) and as of yet have not pieced the beasty of an 2. 2 straight six back together yet (head up only needed) see pic.
When i couldn't find a head gasket i considered dropping a small block in it and rating it. but then my father clip me round the head and bought me to my senses as its in way to good condition to do that but the option is yours.
The body work although could do with a flattening and couple of new coats is actually in very good condition with no rust and extremely straight panels! for a velox thats nearly unheard of lol. I have all the bright work and tons of extra.
The interior has been fully re-upholstered and looks awesome. The bench seats and column shift just oozes class.
I have everything to finish the car and it really wouldn't take alot. I think someone that had a couple of spare weeks could have this on the road. Its tax and mot exempt yep mot exempt too!! it cost me £80 fully comp on insurance. now thats cheap motoring lol.
I would really recommend coming to view the car and it will need trailoring away. Apparently the plate is transferable too.
Im not in a rush to sell as this is my baby and if i dont have sensible offers i will stick her in storage untill i get the time to finish her.
