1971 Triumph 2500PI London-Mexico Replica Rally Car - The Market For Sale by Auction
Colloquially known as ‘The Ghost of XJB 305H’ and originally instigated by Rod Stewart (yes, that Rod Stewart!), this is a replica of XJB 305H, the car that Brian Culcheth and Johnstone Syer took to second place in the 1970 World Cup Rally.
A solid Triumph 2000 (registration number SFK 887K) was chosen as the base vehicle and an astonishing amount of work went into ensuring that, although it is not a perfect replica, the details are period-correct; the finished car’s specification is based on both the original build sheets from Abingdon as well as the recollections of Brian Culcheth himself.
The result is a faithful replica of XJB 305H (the original was destroyed by British Leyland many years ago…). It is in show-ready condition and comes complete with a paid entry into the Lombard Bath 2018 event worth £450.
The new owner will also be asked to ensure the car attends the 50th anniversary celebrations at Gaydon in 2020, and to make the car available for Brian Culcheth to drive on the day.
The base car was completely stripped down and the bodyshell was extensively modified, as per the original rally car. This work included modifications to the sills to strengthen them to incorporate the side jacking system. The rear-mounted jacking point and a roof-mounted air vent for cockpit ventilation were also installed.
The front wings were also modified to incorporate the distinctive side vent system that provides additional cooling to the engine compartment, and the boot lid was altered to enable it to carry three spare wheels stacked inside the boot itself.
A period-correct roll cage was also installed and a sump shield was fitted to protect the underside of the engine. All unnecessary brightwork was removed, including the bumpers and some of the side mouldings.…more text on our website
