Description

Formosa 120 GR in the style of 1950s Ferrari Mondial. Registered Historic and ULEZ Compliant. Tax and MOT Exempt. Very low insurance cost and overall maintenance. 1967 Triumph Herald Chassis. Very strong. 1976 Ford Cortina MKIII Engine. Very strong. 6 Speed Manual Gearbox. Pulls very well indeed and an absolute joy to drive! Webber Carbs sound wonderful! Plenty of details to make this particular model stand out from the crowd. Michelin Magnesium Alloy Spoked Wheels - recently refurbished including Ferrari dust caps and Yellow brake callipers to front disc brakes really pop.Drums to the rear - recently refurbished.Brake system works as should.Power to weight ratio - Excellent.Full burgundy interior with 'period' seats - Not the commonly found Cobra copies, but I have a pair in Black which I'm happy to include. Airplane safety buckles - Not currently attached, as I prefer without. Happy to include, quick fix. Gorgeous Moto Lita Wooden Steering Wheel - The feel is uncompromising and pure. Steering Wheel centre is genuine Ferrari 250 part with adapted Ferrari Cavallino Rampante horn push in period style.Professionally made bespoke Tonneau Cover, 2 part zip up through centre in Black, can be fully removed or half exposed.Period brushed steel, lockable pop up Petrol Cap.Car speakers with concealed Bluetooth device for easy connectivity to your phone, Spotify etc.. Although, you'll likely prefer the engine and exhaust note!Period dials - Smiths etc. Stainless Steel Cockpit Switches. Whilst she only has a 1. 6 litre engine, she weighs approximately 800kg. She is not blisteringly quick and you wouldn't want that! The 'sensation speed' is enough. Popping to the local shops is trouble free. Bursting through a tunnel in 3rd and 4th is a 'riot'!! Dropping down gears is effective and fun. Cruising down the motorway in 5th or 6th is blissful and effortless. Despite the car being an easy drive (because everything works as it should), unlike modern cars and modern sports cars, you will 100% feel like you've had a 'proper' driving experience. Somewhere (personally) between slightly exhausted and totally satisfied.Literally every mechanical part on the car has been either replaced or upgraded at considerable expense. A very beautiful car! Next MOT due 11/02/2023, Silver, 5+ owners, £22,500
