*** ALL SOLD****Early Plus 2 Project for Sale
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 12:04 pmIt?s time to move on a couple of Plus 2 projects. I have two very different cars here, one very early and one quite early, and they should appeal to different folks?you?ll see why!
Chassis number 32, registration OYY88F. (THIS CAR IS NOW SOLD)
Chassis number 224, registration JCO193F....THIS CAR IS NOW SOLD
This car was taken off the road a long time ago as well, and restoration started. The body was professionally stripped, repaired and painted in the correct Lotus Yellow (the owner had a bodyshop) but at some time, the garage where the mechanical and trim items for the car were stored was flooded.
I bought the car some 3 or 4 years ago missing some of its trim, the engine and gearbox and instruments / dash. I?ve since found most of the missing stuff.
The paintwork is of course the main thing about this car, and after 10 years, it is still superb. There are no blisters or craters, and no gel coat cracks have come back?i.e., it was done properly. The engine bay still needs to be painted. The body sits on a rolling chassis, which has been repaired, and I would get a better one or get Spyder to recondition this one properly.
As a complete package, the car is only missing the carburettors and airbox. However, I?d be happy to sell the car as a rolling shell if you want to build a Zetec, or have a spare engine / box that you want to use. The rolling shell could be just the shell, or everything except engine and gearbox, or you can have the whole lot. The price is around ?4k for the rolling shell with everything except the engine and box?.half the price of a paint job.
I may be interested in a P/X either way on either / both of the cars, but only for something interesting and that works...I still have enough cars in bits.
There is no hurry to get these sold, and I?m happy to work with a buyer to sort out the right package on the yellow car. They can stay here until summer. I?m not interested in making money out of these cars, but do want to see them being restored rather than broken for parts, and get some of my money back!
PM me if you?re interested.
