Harvey Wash Ltd have prepared and maintained the vehicle for rallying for the past 15 years and the current owner has used the vehicle for multiple long-distance rallies, including:

The Casablanca Challenge - 2009

The engine is a standard 4566cc, 6 cylinder with single carburettor, combined with 4-speed automatic gearbox. Brakes are standard drums all round with mechanical brake servo.

After a few years in storage the vehicle has received a mild recommission to return to vehicle to the road. We can, in our workshops, arrange to have further rally preparations carried out or assist a new owner in returning the vehicle to standard.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well campaigned, reliable vehicle which is suitable for further classic rallies. Or, if the new owner desires, all standard parts are included to return the vehicle back to original specification.
