SUMMARY
A partially restored, 5-litre R107 from the Stoneacre Collection offered with No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.
- This car appears to be a part-finished project with evidence that work to the engine has stalled
- The oil pump is understood to be disconnected as indicated by a note on the screen
- The history file shows the car has been partially restored in the past, illustrated by various photographs
- There are also more than ten MOTs that appear to substantiate the indicated mileage
- Whilst there appears to be rusting to the rear wheel arches, the car otherwise presents quite well for a long-stored motorcar and offered at No Reserve will surely attract interest
