Introduction
The car came from California in the '90s, and has had the chrome bumper and left-hand to right-hand drive conversions done. Further, it has had the fantastic Rover SD1 3.5 V8 engine put in. In Damask Red with Biscuit colour interior, it's a head turner!
I’ve owned the car for a year, and now want another classic car so am selling this one. I’ve just put 2 new stainless steel exhaust manifolds on, as well as a new battery and alternator. The car has good suspension - Bilstein shocks with stiffer springs. It has been to lots of car shows and even won a prize.
There is the odd stone chip, but nothing bad and no rust - coming from the sunshine state. There’s some peeling on the chrome on two of the wheel spinners, but not major. I have a bit of paperwork dated back from the late eighties (very nice car indeed). As you can see from the pics, it is a great car bit is not concourse. It’s a great looking and solid car.
This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

*** RESERVE REMOVED*** Frank has decided to remove the reserve so the car will be sold this evening. Good luck, Adam TC
Hi. I think there was an error with the last bid. What happens now ?
I agree, I didn’t see the comment from the administrator about the extension so this wasn’t fair at the end. I believe the auction should be extended.
Auction Update – Erroneous bid deleted and auction extended for fairness. Kulraj – Trade Classics
Does it run on standard unleaded petrol or does it need additives
Is the gearbox 5 speed? Thanks.
Frank could you give me your post code incase I win it I can get my own collection quote regards Martin
Hi Martin, I’m sorry but we don’t give out post codes of sellers address publically. However, it’s 1 mile north of the city centre – that should be good to give you an accurate quote. Cheers. Adam
Hi, has the suspension been lowered back to chrome bumper height?
No I don’t think it has mate
I notice there are speakers in the door and Ariel on wing but no radio. Is the wiring in for a radio ?
Yes the wires are there I have never had a radio I would rather listen to the v8 burble
You have a good point there
Hi, does it have the rover 5 speed box?
Yes mate it does
Thanks for that, Ian
How is this a 1977 with a 1974 number plate ?
That was the number plate it was given when the car come over from california.
Ok thanks. Just a bit odd ??
When it was registered in the UK that’s the number plate it was given I have seen this before.
No problem mate. Is viewing possible ?
Ye definitely
When were you thinking
Might try and get out of work Sunday. Any idea what price you’re looking for. Has it got a reserve ?
Do you live near me then and ye their is a reserve it’s an auction buddy I can’t tell you how much mate
I live in Newcastle It’s a bit of a hike
What you see on the add is very much like you are viewing the car so why not put a bid in buddy it’s a great car
I’m finding it difficult to get an insurance quote with it being imported. Also they are asking for value ? What you got it insured for ?
You can get classic car insurance no problem I’m only £80 year
I’ll do a search. Cheers
Have brakes been upgraded. I drive a 1800 and they aren’t very good but a 3.5 is going to be much heavier and faster ?
Their seams to be bigger discs on the front and drums on the back
Does the gear box have overdrive ?
No it has the 5 speed rover box so doesn’t really need overdrive
Thanks
