1973 AMV8 - 5 Speed Manual - POA

'
Chassis V8/10674/RCA
This is an early matching numbers Series 3 AMV8,
It is in 1973 that AM discontinued the Bosch Fuel Injection system and went over to Weber Carburettors, usually a giveaway by a taller hood scoop on the bonnet, this car however is an early Weber car as it still has the lower hood scoop so cannot facilitate the big air intake that is usually fitted to the cars fitted with Weber's. The bonnet carries the original body number, so it is the original bonnet but to make it work AM fitted the carbs with slim pancake type air filters. A bit unique..  
It has the favourable dog leg 1st, 5 speed manual ZF gearbox with Weber carburettors and makes this car the perfect candidate for a complete nut and bolt body off restoration built to new owner specification, matching numbers examples like this are becoming increasingly few as most have now been restored or currently in the process of being restored. Certainly the desired specification and a rare opportunity, so if you are in the market for one then give us a call to discuss options.
It originally left the factory in Cornish Gold
Sadly there is no known history with this car, it was bought at the CCA auction in Warwickshire in March 2016 where it was described as a barn find in need of some tlc.
It wasn't a barn find at all though but it was 'kept' in a barn if that counts and was driven round the previous owners field when the urge arose.
It inevitably required some mechanical recommissioning to bring it back to MOT standards and road worthy condition. It now gets used occasionally during the Spring and Summer periods and even entered the 2018 AMOC Spring Concours at Englefield House. Ok it didn't place in the top 3 but it got out and seen which is exactly what these cars are for.

         Here are a few of the jobs we carried out to make it usable:

• New front suspension swivels
• Front and rear brake callipers completely stripped and overhauled with new pistons and seals
• Steering rack/ pump and column overhauled
• New gearbox mounts
• New distributor and coil
• New aluminium fuel tank and sender unit
• New front side/ indicator units fitted. 
• New door frame rubbers
