It's a 1977 Carrera 3.0 standard sunroof coupe in Sienna with Tan interior showing 100K miles.
The car was taken off the road nearly three decades ago with top end engine issues and has been dry stored since. The car is complete although the engine and box have been removed and the engine part dismatled.
Everything is there with correct dials, steering wheel and it even has the original spare and tools etc although the interior is totally shagged. Engine and box are believed numbers matching.
Being off the road for so long has helped preserve the car and it's very solid with minimal metalwork required, we believe even the sills and kidney bowls are solid although it will require one door skin, a front pan repair and there's a dent in the roof. Paint under the bonnet and in the engine bay is like new.
Currently on Cookies although I would get a very nice set of 7 & 8" Fuchs in the deal along with a genuine 3.0 Whale Tail and rubber front lip spoiler.
It's coming from a totally trustworthy source who has never gotten around to restoring the car and I think I could secure it for low £30K's which to me sounds very sensible, would you agree?
Downside is there's absolutely no history with the car.
Obviously a project which will require an engine build, some minor metal work and paint but an honest straightforward project that shouldn't take too long.
Colour wouldn't be my first preference but then if I buy it I wouldn't take it back to stock anyway and it would look more like this
........
......my only slight hesitation is that I would really like a SWB project at some point and I'd be gutted if one popped up whilst in the middle of this......however chances of getting one at the right money are very slim and a nice 3.0RS rep was always second on my project wish list and I think this would be a great base?
I appreciate your thoughts?
Cheers,
