1985 Superb RMB Gentry MGTF Kit Car - Sold! SOLD

This is my RMB Gentry Kit Car running a Triumph Vitesse Mark 1 straight six engine, in a wax oiled chassis. This is a very pretty car. Hand built in 1985, substantially from a 1969 Vitesse, finished in bright red, standing on new silver matt wires. Full black leather period interior, with red piping and matching carpets. Black hood and side screens are in good order. Wooden dash (best layout I’ve seen), new wood rimmed Motalita steering wheel, with proper instrumentation and switch gear, which all works. The car presents really well, carries a great patina, however does have a few blemishes commensurate with age (at nearly forty!). This really is one of the best Triumph based Gentrys on the road, and turns heads wherever it goes.

It comes with extensive maintenance files, history, ephemera and a box of useful spares. I have owned the car as a gentle hobby classic since 2009, and it’s had new rear brakes & pads, plugs, points, leads, distributor, gauges, windscreen washer system, hoses, pipes, new wire wheels, tubes and tyres and loads more, all of which are in excellent shape. Happily, the car comes with 10 months MOT, all ready to go for the summer, runs on unleaded petrol (with an additive), and will require road tax. It’s always been stored inside, under a cover and has not been driven in the rain. It has done a very limited mileage showing just 26, 400 on the clock. It now needs a new keeper to really keep it in shape. Insured fully comprehensive for under £90 a year!

There have been many enquiries and offers (a lot from Europe) where buyers have expressed interest, but have not materialised. Can I thank those people for their interest.

This vehicle has now sold with deposit having been taken.
