*Project car stored since the 1970s

Bought in the 1970s as a dismantled car without bodywork, this Lambda's engine was re-built c.1974-75, since when it was stored. The vendor advises that the engine will require dismantling and cleaning before any attempt is made to start it. All major components plus some new spares accompany the car, these including a new 3.9:1 crownwheel and pinion, two new aluminium front wings and a new aluminium cylinder head, as well as the original bonnet (with catches) and an original undertray, as well as two spare wheels. Comes with V5C and a buff logbook.

An exciting project, and one offering a blank canvas for its new owner.
