Cash price for the car and parts as shown in the pictures and described below (less the acewell digi dash) will be £1600 however I am open to swapping for a 1.8 k series or VVC engine in good condition with ECU, wiring loom, exhaust and inlet manifolds for a engine conversion in a MK3 metro plus cash. I am also open to other offers of other cars but must be interesting or different, however needs to be running and have an MOT.
Originally a 1984 Piccadilly I have undertaken a lot of the work to turn this great car in to a light weight weekend track / weekend toy. It just needs someone to spend some time finishing off and getting this great car on the road. Please do not get the impression this is a quick fix to get this on the road there is still a reasonable amount of work required, however most of the hard work has been done for you and you will end up with a fantastic car once completed. The car comes with an over bored 998 block (+30 thou) wedged crank, lightened and balanced rods and most parts required to finish the build.
Collection of the car will require a trailer or similar and a reasonable size car / van for remaining parts engine block etc. Cash on collection only, I will also include a disc with all photos showing the work undertakes so far with the sale for future reference. I will have all parts boxed and ready for collection.
