Lot Ended
Description
Mechanically sound running and driving well; sounds amazing with
the sports exhaust; benefiting from overdrive
This GT6, originally came from a deceased estate, which was purchased
through Mathewson’s for £11,791 in December 2023, the current vendor then
purchased car in May 2024 but now has decided to sell part of his collection to
concentrate on ongoing projects.
Various new parts were bought and fitted in the early part of 2024
with a few receipts clarifying what was carried out mainly on the cooling
system.
The fuel tank was removed and flushed out and a new sender unit was
fitted. Electronic distributor by power spark was also upgraded along with a new
rear axle being fitted.
This car has obviously been restored in the past, chassis &
bodywork, suspension, radiator etc, however the paintwork does need
some attention, as shown in the pictures. The bodywork itself is sound with
very little corrosion and dents, but just requires a full re-spray to bring
the car back to the condition it deserves. The vendor is under the impression
that only a couple of thousands of these Mk5's were produces, making this car
quite rare.
The engine fires up easily on full choke and seems to tick over
smoothly. There is no evidence the engine has been rebuilt but as the block has
been painted one can assume that work has been carried out in the past.
This is complemented with an overdrive on the gearbox.
The overall
car will make a great project that with the sports exhaust sounds out of this
world.
