FOR SALE - 480 Celebration Auto

Post by Richmann1 » Sun Aug 05, 2007 8:01 pm

Finally got the celebration finished. So time to sell it on to make space on the drive. Spec as follows..

1995 Celebration Auto
Dark grey mettalic
One previous owner
12 months Mot
Full leather interior
Air con Needs regassing Have checked system though and works ok
Cetus alloys
New Brake lines
New front disks and pads
Completely serviced except timing belt
Roller cover
Waxoyled inside and out
Rebuilt Autobox
134000 Miles
Digital Clock
Auxilary Gauges
ABS

I bought this car last year as another project. I dont have the time to use both 480's so this ones got to go. I have completely stripped and rebuilt the interior including ,redying any wear to the leather. I have sorted all the electrics out, everything works. I Bought new alloys for it which are virtually as new. The brakes have been stripped, cleaned and painted. I waxoyled inside and out , of all of the arches and wings. The car has been fully serviced except the timing belt. I can do this free for the owner, if they buy the parts .I dont think its due though, according to the last owner. The body work has a few marks .Also a couple of bits of rust on the arches. These should not get any worse now. I am just looking to make my money back on it,so looking for
£650
Or £700 including belt and tensioner replacement

Cheers Rich :D

Ps will post pics this week otherwise will go on ebay.

I think with the cambelt done you'll get a lot more than £700 on fleabay Rich, Joe Public are lovin' the Celebs atm. Saw one go for over £2k last month on there.

Good luck with it anyway. :D

He! He! It's me! :hopping:
You'd think a grown man who is definitely on the slippery slope to old age and senility would know better, wouldn't you?
It's not as if a BSA, two Lancias, two TR7s and two 480s aren't enough for one person, is it? Not forgetting a 400 year old house....
Still, it's all part of the Big Plan, 'cept I just haven't finalised the details yet :wink:
Watch this space for developments....
