Description

Rare V8 CSW - sounds awesome! There are very few 90 County Station Wagons left, particularly V8s. This one is a solid ex-MOD vehicle, factory V8, and has been maintained by some of the best engineering firms in the business. No idea if it is US-exportable, but it is still on original chassis, bulkhead and engine (albeit modified). Relatively low mileage - never had a towbar. V8 rebuilt (pistons, inners, cylinder head, camshafts etc) by the world-famous JE Motorworks. I was told it was bored out to 3.9 - see photos and receipts. Upgrades / respray from ex-MOD spec carried out by Liveridge 4x4 - bulkhead and engine bay still original MOD colour ( the brown spray is Waxoyl, no filler). - Edelbrock carbs fitted new in 2023 - fitted by The Thatched Garage - Custom-made quad stainless exhaust system with lifetime guarantee - Longlife (Berwick Service Station) - a fantastic V8 soundtrack - 4 x new BF Goodrich A/Ts 12 months ago / 500 miles - Replacement quarter rear chassis and new rear door Jan 2023 - New starter motor, coil, distributor, HT leads and spark plugs July 2025 - starts beautifully - Longlife gel battery - LED lights - Numerous receipts over 15 years - professionally maintained - Service history for last 11 years of my ownership. It has covered less than 5000 miles in last 10 years - Masai panoramic glass, Momo steering wheel, 6 seats Some minor bubbling along front nearside door (been there a long time); some corrosion on windscreen hinge but bulkhead is solid - see pictures. Some light surface rust on chassis but nothing major. Headliner sagging a little. Having owned and enjoyed it for many years I am simply not getting the driving time that it deserves. Priced sensibly (you can see how much some V8's are going for!). Payment by bank transfer please - vehicle released when funds cleared. Thanks for your interest.
