Private sale - V8 Roadster


Teal Blue 4180 (GHN 5315656) is a superb V8 Roadster originally built by Pool Lane Classics to a high standard back in 1990 at a cost of £20K. Since then many additions and improvements have been made to her.

Front suspension: MGRV8 cross member conversion, V8 with replacement coil-over suspension, ball joints and 4 pot calipers with vented discs.

Rear suspension: Gaz struts and parabolic springs, superflex mountings all round.
Wheels: 72 spoke chrome with Goodyear tyres.

Exterior: Mohair hood, tonneau and new padded half tonneau. Wind deflector included. Front and rear fogs.

This is a superb car throughout which has won pride of ownership awards for the current owner. I have owned it for five years now and looked after her with help from Classic Cars in Twickenham. This is a sad sale but unfortunately a large labrador and wife will not fit in together so she has to go - the car that is! Asking price is £9,950 ono.
