SUMMARY
1974, V6-engined SE5A with a manual gearbox and overdrive, the subject of a substantial restoration in the past and very sensibly guided.
DESCRIPTION
- The John Crossthwaite-designed SE5 was introduced at the 1968 Motor Show powered by the same 3-litre Ford Essex engine used in its predecessor, the SE4A/B. In 1972, several improvements were included in the upgrade to SE5A, including a boost in power. The extra 7bhp, and raised maximum engine speed, improved performance quite a bit and the GTE was now capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds on its way to 121mph
- This distinctively hued GTE SE5A dates from 1974, is powered by the ubiquitous Ford Essex V6 and is fitted with a 4-speed gearbox with overdrive
- It has been fully restored in the past and according to our vendor; 'The engine was stripped and rebuilt with new piston rings and shell bearings, an alloy timing gear was fitted and a new oil pump drive. New parts included; brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, electric fan and thermo-setting switch, alloy timing gear, servo, front suspension bushes, battery, blade fuse box, brake hoses, fuel hoses, heater matrix, front windscreen and rubber, four headlamps and bowls, carpets, bullet mirrors, sunroof (imported from USA), Firestone tyres x 5. The carburettor is also almost new'
- Finished in Lemon Yellow with a black interior, the car would benefit from further detailing to take it to the next level and is guided accordingly
