Low mileage Vitesse. Good to see one, it's absolutely gorgeous, but it's £10.5k. A Vitesse is near the top of my all-time faves. Saw a black one near Aberdeen yesterday, what a stunning car to see out on the road.

 

Annoyingly shit photos, how hard can it be?

Never welded, doesn't need any, etc, but B40 ESD has an MOT advisory.

 

"Offside Rear Inner Vehicle structure is fractured but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced at floor".

 

Wonder what that's all about.

Mk1 facelift unfinished project for not a lot of money. Very solid shell indeed.

Originally a 2000GT auto with the Essex V4, unbelievably easy upgrade to a 3-litre, guy even offers a V6 engine. Black GT interior (but with 4-cyl revcounter) too.

Shell has wide auto-trans-tunnel and is at the stage where it could easily be upgraded to 3-litre spec. Facelifts even had 3-litre bonnet with wide front edges to fit twin GXL headlamps. If you can find the bezels for them.

 

Viable project which will be worth £££££ when finished if that's what you're interested in.

Classified ad, £2650 buys it today, that's peanuts for the potential this one has.

Wish I had some spare cash. And a garage to work in. Aaaaarghh!!

Paging Dan on the 'shitephone.

 

Edit - checked at 5.30pm, item sold. I'm not surprised.

Maybe I'm not hard core enough, but I think this is the worst car I have ever viewed (for the money). Admittedly I only went to look at as it was just a few miles from my frond door and the Range Rover wanted a run now that it has a working battery. I thought the price was maybe a bit of a joke and there would be plenty of negotiation room as I didn't know before today that you can't take a cherished plate off a car without and MOT (unless you scrap it). Anyway it had clearly been sitting in a field for years, and just pushed off a trailer onto the guy's drive. I could put my fist through the sills. Then there was the rest of the rust. It turned over by jumping the the starter relay and that is about it. "Oh I know my Jags, I've sold 60 of them. It's got good tyres! It only needs the immobilizer resetting!" I don't get why someone would put on the sales pitter patter on something that he got for free most likely, and is worth £500 scrap. Ok he got a cherished plate with it, well done dude, but seriously, just scrap it! His chickens were fun though!

Described as 'American Car'.

Very few details in the listing, it's a 78 Chrysler Cordoba. Doesn't even say which engine.

'MOT till September 2019, 38k miles'.

DVLA says 5900cc, making it a 360 V8.

I have fond memories of being wafted about Canada in a Cordoba (suitably attired in JRG) back in my teens! It would have been of similar vintahe as my first trip there was in '79.

You sure about the cherished plate thing? I took mine off my A209 last May before flogging it sans MOT. No probs at all. It certainly didn't get scrapped and I still see the new owner every few weeks and have a blether with him.
