1978 Lincoln Continental MkV for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 422 votes

This Lincoln Continental MkV is in remarkable condition for its age.   I bought it from a classic and sports car firm in The Netherlands.   One of the pictures shows it loaded ready for delivery to me (it's the one on the bottom platform!).   The connoisseur will need little explanation about this car;  suffice it to say that she is powered by the smaller 6600 cc engine as the Ford Motor Company decided in this year to reduce the cc from 7500 for economy reasons (!).

This particular car spent its life in Los Angeles and was "head-hunted" in person by the director of "Schipper Classic & Sportscars" of The Netherlands who actually went to America on a stock hunting trip.   The car was given a thorough health check in Holland. The mechanics were serviced and a new battery was fitted.   The exhaust system is also new. The white wall tires were found to be very good.   The bodywork was found to be totally rust-free.   The alloy wheels deserve a mention as being excellent. Finally. the padded vynil rear half of the roof is as good as new.

All EU duty and taxes have been paid.   The photographs show the car with her Californian numberplates; these will go with the car to preserve its history.   All British regulations have been complied with and the DVLA has allocated a new registration number:  YNF 435S and the corresponding plates have been fitted.   The car has a fresh MOT and is taxed for a year at £225 for the 12 months.

 

You are most welcome to inspect the Lincoln and ask questions.   I am normally on the end of my mobile (07772255725) if not. try 01654 702877 my land line.   The motorcar is kept at my address in MidWales.   Please take the bidding system seriously and bear in mind that the auction winner is dutybound to respond with a deposit payment of one hundred pounds (PayPal?) within 24 hours with the balance paid in cash on collection (within the week of the termination of the auction or by arrangement) or by instant transfer Bankers' Draft which is free of charge.

Should the Lincoln be sold prior to the end of this auction it will be withdrawn from same immediately.   I have it advertised locally.   Good luck to all you American car enthusiasts.
