1973 Scimitar GTE SE5a Fast Road, Sprint/Hillclimb Car SOLD
The paintwork is very presentable but certainly not perfect and the same goes for the chromework.
I’ve just done head and inlet gaskets as the engine had been stood since being built. It’s a Burton Power engine with a fully balanced bottom end, cross drilled and nitrided crank, +30 pistons, stage 2 heads which look really nicely polished, ARP head bolts, piper 285 cam, steel timing gear, non-vac dizzy with curve set to suit and electronic ignition, new Holley 390 on a modified manifold. Holley electric pump. Large bore tubular steel manifolds made for the engine, not off the shelf, the rest of the exhaust is stainless. The engine is really sweet and goes very very well!! The previous owner said it was around 190hp and it does feel that kind of power to be fair.
I’ve focused on the mechanicals and the interior as there wasn’t any when I bought it. The rest of the spec is impressive, close ratio type 5 box with a new Quaife quick shift lever, rebuilt prop, fully rebuilt axle with new Quaife ATB diff, new fully adjustable Protech dampers with slightly higher rate springs than they normally supply. I’ve rebuilt the front suspension which was mostly new anyway. The brakes are all new or good condition with goodridge hoses and EBC blue pads. There’s an SE6b anti roll bar (thicker) with poly bushes and upgraded rod end drop links, new radiator and kenlowe type thermostatic fan. Wheels are new 7x15 Revolution with new 205/ 50/ 15 Uniroyal Rainsport tyres. The electrics are in good condition. I’ve fitted a full new Coverdale black carpet with decent under felt, the dash is very tidy, and I have fitted new door cards from Aldridge Trimming. All the seats are fitted and there’s a new matching Cobra RSR drivers seat and new Schroth ASM 4 point road harness. There’s a few bits to sort, but it’s an excellent starting point with all the right and expensive bits done!
This is built for the road-going class, so definitely not a track only car. Compete or just enjoy it on the road.
