The PS I'm talking about lives in Melbourne, his BT31 had the 2.5L V8, there was no 1.5L Repco-Brabham, only Coventry Climax. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ok going by the description it used to be owned by Ian Cummins,PS's wasn't. Rego of PS's 06780. PS's is a '66,this is,both in the advert and register,a '68. Anything else you'd care to add....
330 and 365GTC are built on the 275 chassis, with rear transaxle. 365GT was a development of the 330GT chassis, has a conventional front gearbox but independent rear end, which robbed boot space, so they made it longer to compensate.
....Also,the original importer of it was....David Levy. He must have been too busy constructing the Intermeccanica project to give it the love it deserved. Bizarrely the register states it as being Rosso in the car description yet in the owner list...Azzuro. ......get yer s&*t together Ray!! ......................................and thanx for the acknowledgment of a more knowledgeable enthusiast
What is the chassis number of the one for sale? PS' 330 is listed as a 67 model on the 330 GTC register (#10695 after some googling). I don't have the FCA register at hand
Yes there are some UK cars that are riddled with rust but the reality is these are rare and not the norm. Mine is a UK import and the chassis and entire under body is perfect. No rust and no worn Bushes. I had Matt Kemsley curator of the Gosford Car Museum who personally purchased over 500 vehicles for them inspect the vehicle and I asked about the UK car stigma and he mentioned very few UK cars do have rust issues (some cases are severe) but it is not often. He also stated mine was one of the cleanest examples he had ever seen (Worldwide).
PS's listed as 9031,Clive's(the one in question) 11419. New 2017 car and member register has PS's as '66 in both car and member sections. 11419 as '68 in both as well.
Thanks for posting the ad and generating the discussion Simon I love the look and sound of those cars I am surprised that Cummins converted it to RHD during the restoration - I assume it would make it much harder to sell as an enthusiast who'd be prepared to stump up the shekels to buy one would prefer to buy an original RHD or LHD car. How much do you think the value in today's market would be cut by it being converted - 10%, 20% NFI
Only the owners who DON'T have cavallino's on their guards,flappy paddles on their steering wheels and do have a stick thingy with which to change gears with!.
It's also colourchanged without full tool kits. You'd have to check world prices and adjust accordingly. I certainly think a mill non original car is,as Greg says,overpriced.
