    "No More Mr Nice Guy" Vauxhall Victor £10,000

    I've bought another car so unfortunately the Victor needs to go as I won't use it as much now and the extra space would be useful.

    Built by Mick Eldridge (Kermit) in the 80s and featured in the December '87 Custom Car. I have full info sheets with every detail of the car that I can send if you want to see them.

    But in short:
    - 1959 Vauxhall Vitor F Type, 2 doored.
    - 1969 3.5 Rover v8. Crane 224 cam. Stock crank (reground). Offenhauser 360 inlet & 390cfm Holley.
    - Mallory dual-point distributor fitted with pertronix electronic ignition internals and flamethrower 2 coil.
    - Borg Warner 65 gearbox.
    - Home built chassis and rollcage.
    - Triumph Vitesse based IFS, spax adjustable coilovers.
    - JAG IRS with XJ6 and 420G parts. 4.11:1 diff.
    - Disc brakes all round.

    Since owning it i've:
    - New aluminium fuel tank with new electric fuel pump, fuel lines, sender and gauge fitted.
    - Carb serviced with Holley kit.
    - Rebuilt front brake calipers with new pistons and seals.
    - Replaced master cylinder and refilled system with silicone brake fluid.
    - Fitted Pertronix ignitor 2 internals to Mallory distributor and flamethrowe 2 coil. New 8mm spiral core leads.
    - Rocker covers modified for new oil breathing system into homemade catch tank.
    - Front suspension top mount rubbers and ball joints replaced.
    - Holes in headers repaired and painted in VHT white.
    - Door rubbers fitted, 3 point harness fitted to passenger seat.
    - New dzeus fasteners in rear interior panel.

    All still very much how it was built 30 years ago. I have all the negatives from Mike key's photoshoot.

    Car ran a 14.77 @ 92.54 at Santa pod last year, with some tuning by someone who knows a little more about the setup it should run some good numbers.

    MOT expired on 31/01/17, haven't renewed it because i haven't used the car on the road yet this year.

    Lots done to get the car usable and back on the road, while the car remains fundamentally the same.

    £10,000. Car is located near Santa Pod, Northants. My number is 07702 590448.

    I very nearly bought this several years ago.It was then owned by a chef in Bicester.
    I went up had a look and made an offer that was knocked back.So i went on my way doing a bit of business and gave it some thought and decided to up my offer.Which was accepted.So i was in London at the time and had to drive back to Bicester to pay a deposit as agreed.Half way there i got a call to say it had been sold to someone else.....

    Still for sale. Had a bit of interest but not one person has come to look at it. Am I asking too much at £9500?
