The car was built a year ago to a very standard and has done minimal mileage since.
Based on a 1978 SC it was built to resemble a 74 Carrera with some modern day upgrades…..putting out a very conservative 275BHP+ it's very quick, sounds gorgeous, has an excellent set up and drives superbly……for those seeking even more power, all port work has been done and a simple upgrade from 2.8 to 3.0RSR cams would see the engine produce in excess of 300BHP.
Specification includes:
Body:
Stripped to bare rolling shell, new steel wings fitted, headlamp washer delete, duck tail and full restoration paint finish in original colour.
Interior:
Black leather seats with new carpet set and rebuilt to early SC specification.
Chassis, Brakes and Suspension:
Reconditioned hubs, new bearings, new Bilstein shock absorbers, all new seals and bumper bellows as needed, fully reconditioned brakes with new discs and 4 pot Boxter calipers. Reconditioned 15" 7 & 8" Fuchs fitted with new Toyo T1R 205/55 and 225/50 tyres front and rear.
Gearbox:
Fully rebuilt replacing all bearings, dogs, syncros, seals and gaskets as required and fitted with a Quaife limited slip differential.
Engine:
Redtek rebuild taking 3.0SC to 3.2 with 98mm Mahle barrels and pistons with 10.3:1 compression ratio.
42mm heads and ports. New valves and guides. Twin spark ignition.
RSR cams and shot peened rockers. Rocker shaft seal kit fitted.
Case boat tailed, crank assembly balanced and ARP rod bolts fitted.
993 Dillivar head studs.
New S fan shroud and GRP black trays.
46mm PMO induction system with K+N air cleaners with flat tops.
Canems management system with custom engine loom.
Lightweight sports clutch and flywheel.
Single outlet exhaust with free flow silencer and SSI heat exchangers.
The subtle exterior of this car belie its potency and this car needs to be driven to be appreciated….a very easy to live with hot rod, the handling is superb yet compliant, it sounds delicious without being obtrusive, braking ability is to modern performance standards with a precise, reassuring feel and the engine pulls like no tomorrow……all in all, a very intoxicating combination.
The cost to build a car to this specification today would exceed in excess of £70,000 and for those looking to build similar, the sale price of £79,950 represents a considerable saving.
A turn-key car supplied with road tax and MOT.
Offered for sale at £79,950, interested parties should contact Nick Fulljames directly on 07799 855911
