The Engine, has been fully rebuilt using all new parts “ better than the 90 bhp original ” and has been pained the same colour as the shell, yellow..
The prop shaft is new and professionally shortened and balanced
The Differential is reconditioned.
I have all the bills/ invoices for parts purchased and todate are as follows :-
Fibre glass kit £8.700
Engine £2.500
Windscreen /mirrors £1,350
Sundry parts £2.000
Specialist labour £1,000
Additional labour £2000
Total cost in excess of £17550.00
No expense has been spared in providing this as a all new car. It should have been registered as 58 reg Aug 2008, as was my intention, but due to the unavailability of a new gear box I had to settle for a Q plate.. Q19 1EAP.. NOT ENOUGH of the DONOR car to register it on an age related plate And two reconditioned parts stopped it being registered as a NEW car. the price for a factory built version to this standard would be £24.000.
I am looking for an offer ??
