Description

So; I’m dropping the price yet again because my personal health is getting worse. I’m now in hospital as I edit this advert having had a heart attack. We have decided to lower the price to £7, 500 for a quick sale.
If you’re interested get in touch.
It’s a Rapier mk3, convertible. Its been in the family for 30+ years and garaged throughout. Gunmetal grey with red top and red stripe. Resprayed about 5 years ago and also new red top at the same time - quality American import. The roof folds back halfway or fully. Complete rebuilt twin carb engine fitted at the same time, clutch etc. hardly any mileage since. Drives really well, overdrive on 3-4 gears Great condition other than interior would benefit a makeover. Selling due to to ill health and old age! Hardly used in last 5 years. In recent years belonged to my brother-in-law and he died about 15 years ago when I took it on. Oh, and he called it Rognvald - no idea why! It’s been on the road or stored in my large garage throughout. I had all the more recent works undertaken but it’s basically original. The odometer reads 98, 000+ but this is in excess. My b-in-law changed the speedo about 25 years ago when it failed. He replaced it with a 2nd hand with 90, 000 + on the clock; much more than it had done. It’s only done about 5, 000 in the last 15-20 years. Also got lots of spare parts.
