The Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was one of the earliest performance-oriented sport trucks, representing the Blue Oval’s first foray into the market. Produced in two generations, from 1993-1995 and 1999-2004,
Powered by Ford’s 16-valve SOHC 5. 2-litre Triton V8 engine helped by an Eaton supercharger. Refreshed in 2001 and now producing 380bhp and 450 lb-ft of torque offering 0-60 mph in an impressive 5. 4 seconds
This, late-production, second generation Lightning was acquired by our vendors in 2015 and fully restored in the intervening years
All mechanicals were upgraded during the first year of ownership, including all oils and filters, belts and supercharger belts
Subsequently, the interior was upgraded to include the simply superb 'FatBoy' dual-tone leather interior and the exterior was given its distinctive custom 'lightning flame' paintwork in 2016
LPG converted some years prior at around 5, 000 miles, all since safety checked
The subject of an insurance loss (Cat D, damaged but repairable) in its first year on our shores in 2005
The truck presents incredibly well, has been the pride and joy of our vendor as befits their investment and, guided very sensibly, should attract plenty of attention
