History
Originally a white GTV Coupe 2lt . Bought by the last owner before me 3yrs ago and restored/converted to GTAm replica. The arches though are hand formed by an 80yr old ex metal worker in aluminium and riveted on. Poly bushes almost everywhere . A lightweight flywheel fitted and engine was standard but very clean plus painted cam cover in red/white and green. Body is red with yellow across the front. Wheels were ford 10 inch x 16 rear -- 8 inch x 16 front all black. The interior is still fitted but with Porsche front seats. Half cage also fitted. Mileage when I bought it was 85,900 miles.
