DESCRIPTION
Time warp condition! A charming LHD Swiss car, showing 50,500kms, presented with a good service history.
This left-hand drive 1979 MkII 1600L 4-door Automatic has spent its whole life in Switzerland where maintenance and MOT standards are famously amongst the highest in the world. Looking cheerful in gold with a beige velour interior, this car is showing just 50,500kms to date (31,400 miles) and comes with a comprehensively stamped Swiss service history.
We are told this cl in every way, save for the fitting of a new battery, the installation of a Cobra alarm and a stainless steel exhaust to replicate the original system. Even the tyres are the original Pirelli 185/55 VR15 as fitted from new. _x000D_
In summary, therar is in very good and original condition throughout, it has recently been fitted with a new carburettor. UK registered and MOTd until January 2016, the vendor doubts that you would find a better example anywhere.
It comes with all its originaefore, this vehicle must be the lowest mileage and the best example of this 1980's iconic hot hatch.l handbooks, still in the original Ford wallet, plus the original toolkit, red triangle and wheel-changing kit. A first aid kit, sewing kit, playing cards and a few other period accessories are also in the glovebox.
Beautifully preserved and very low mileage, offered with no reserve this car must be of consideration.
