Source Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) Hey guys, This is going to come as a surprise to some of you because it seems like I just bought this car (1 year ago), but I have decided to place it up for sale as some circumstances in my life have changed and it will not get the use I intended for it. I'm not a huge fan of things just sitting in the garage for most of their lives. Basically in my ownership I have sorted out the flaws I ran into. The car was brought back into the US by the previous owner after he was done serving overseas. It is RHD with a Vauxhall C20XE motor built by Swindon. Dyno sheet with the car shows 238 HP. Ford Type 9 gearbox with straight-cut gears is currently in the car. There's an entire extra crated gearbox with semi helical gears that comes with it. The car is standard chassis, standard floor. The things that have been done in my ownership: Engine has been removed to fix oil leak coming from rear main seal. Several other seals that were easy to get to were replaced while the engine was out. Entire drive belt and pulleys were also replaced at this time. The hole that was drilled into the bottom of the transmission to easily drain the fluid was leaking and we re-sealed that as well. The extra resonator added to the exhaust pipe for more sound deadening was removed. Coolant was flushed and refilled. Repaired a few wiring gremlins that were old and worn, one of which that caused the blinkers to hyperflash. Fuel pump relay and fuses related to the fuel pump were blown and replaced. A new battery has been put in. Extras: The car comes with a whole load of parts. The ones I can remember this morning are: Crated Type 9 gearbox with semi helical gears. Entire extra set of wheels and tires as well as an extra set of tires and some random one offs. Doors, roof and original heated windshield. I usually run the aero windscreen. Shower cap car cover. Wheel chock. Battery cutoff switch (Never installed) Entire binder of history that the previous owners kept. Originating from the original build order for the car. All services and parts bought for the car are kept in record. 18,xxx miles Please feel free to ask any questions, I'm sure there's things I missed. Shoot me a PM and I can give you my phone number to talk about it. I also have a video of a full walkaround while the car is warming up.

Source Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 I will most likely be putting this car in an auction next week. Please let me know beforehand if you or someone you know is interested before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Im interested but its just out of my price range. I'm traveling to Vegas the 1st of November if the care is still around I would love to take a look at it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cueball1 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Didn't sell on cars and bids. Maybe restore the asking price in this ad thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Source Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 I did this morning, just before the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Source Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 That being said, if anyone is seriously interested please reach out to me and let's make a deal! My daily driver unexpectedly sold in less than 24 hours and I need this guy to be gone so I can replace my daily and stop riding my girlfriend's Z125 to work with the upcoming cold weather!

It was a resonator the previous owner added to quiet the car down. I have since had it cut off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Source Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Sold. Please give the new owner all the help you've given me when he inevitably finds himself here. Thanks to all who assisted with selling! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like an "interference" capped branch designed to reflect waves in a phase to improve cylinder scavenging over a broader rpm range. Definitely old school/forgotten tech.

Source Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I have (or had now) the paperwork for the extra muffler and the shop did say it was a muffler to quiet the car down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
