“The C”
This is the first 'done' car I have ever owned. It came, indirectly, from Paul McLaren a member here. He did a great job with the full restoration and added lots of nice invisible upgrades....

• Complete engine rebuilt at 72,500 (mileage probable incorrect)& new clutch
• New brake master & slaves
• Stainless steel exhaust
• Petronix ignition
• Battery cut off switch
• Back up fuel pump wired & plumbed
• Road lightened (10lb) flywheel
• Headlight relays
• Electric fan, thermostatically controlled with indicator light and manual switch
• Dayton chrome wires (2011) 15” x 6” shod with Potenza 195/65/15
• New leather interior, seat foams and molded carpet
• New windshield, door glass & S/S quarter lights
• Cabin soundproofing Dynamat type product
• Lucas PL headlights

Repainted in late 2010 and in excellent condition cosmetically and mechanically. Starts easily and runs perfectly.

Thanks for the quick response Paul. Email is colinw59@hotmail.com Any info would be great, resto start/finish dates, parts, paint system used, mileages and so on. You know all the stuff you would want to find out. I fell in love with the CGT back at a car show in the UK in 1980 when I had a 73 BGT. Why did you sell it??????

Thanks again Paul,

Colin
