SUMMARY
Remarkable Mk 2 1,558cc Bullet (Lotus Twin Cam), the subject of £40,000 recent expenditure and offered at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Based on a time warp, two owner, 1967 Cortina GT purchased by our vendor's father in 2016
- Restored to an astonishing level by him over a five-year period from 2016 at a cost of over £40,000
- Bodywork fully prepared, fitted with a new bonnet and resprayed in Alpina Green. The engine bay and underneath were similarly prepared
- Fitted with a 1,558cc fuel-injected Lotus Twin Cam rebuilt to 'fast-road' spec and producing 116bhp at the rear wheels, mated to a Sierra 5-speed gearbox with modified gear lever and prop-shaft
- Redesigned cross-member and front suspension to accommodate rack and pinion steering
- Upgraded with electric power steering, electric fuel pumps, cable-operated clutch, high-performance exhaust and an electric cooling fan
- Very few miles since the restoration was completed. An absolute one-off created with driving enjoyment as the priority
- Performance Fords continue to remain topical, and this rather special 'Bullet' at No Reserve is worthy of your close inspection
