Shelbiette GT

Well up for sale is my lovingly restored  SWB Shelbiette GT.

It was only completed late last Summer but a lack of space and a new project soon to arrive means it has to go.

The buggy has a had a full body off resto, with no nut or bolt left untouched.

Chassis:

·       1971 (Tax Exempt) registered but with K+L front beam and wide 5's all round. On the V5 as a VW Convertible. Old pans removed and replaced with steel box section and flat steel sheet, leaving the chassis very sturdy without any flex. Coated in marine grade Jotamastic.

·       Wide 5 drums refurbed inside. New solid brake lines run throughout the body.

·       Solid Wide five steels in cellulose black fitted all round. Skinny on front and massive tyres at back.

·       Also built in rollcage with window built into frame.

Body:

·       Restored Shelbiette GT fibreglass tub, sprayed in cellulose Firecracker blue with added Blue metalflake, coated in 7+ layers of lacquer.

Engine and Gearbox:

·       Rebuilt 1835cc engine

·       Twin 40 Kadrons

·       Genuine Facet pump

·       Scat Serpentine Pulley

·       New Tinwear

·       No problems at all with this and pulls like a train. If I was being picky I would say that it could do with being fully set up on a rolling road.

·       1600 GT Gearbox so cruises well

·       Short shift gearstick

Electrics:

·       Safety kill switch

·       GPS Tracker

·       LED Multifunction rear lights

·       New front headlights

Others:

·       Matching front and back seats, with harnesses for front seats

·       Removable quick release steering wheel



Bar the actual chassis, most of the parts are new/restored.  There's probably more that I've forgotten, just ask if you have any questions.

It's a sorted buggy that needs no work to use this summer.

Any interest? Could do a deal without engine if needed?
