Ok. Ok, it was me (again)...I simply couldn't let pass this opportunity.
I have been a liitle bit shy due to the fact that the world is ruled by enviousness and malevolence….more I won’t say……moreover from the moment of first contact with the seller up to the moment I could unload the car in my snakepit I couldn’t believe that I will get AKL1411 in reality.
The car is in an absolute original condition (with exeption of the engine – see below).
Build in 91 as to the VIN-No or 1992 as to the ACOC registry the first owner has been Auto-Becker in Düsseldorf a well known dealer of luxury cars. Due to change in emission standards the car got the first road permission in 1997.
Auto Becker went bankrupt in 2002/03.
AKL1411 with a bunch of other cars came under control of the liquidator who took AKL1411 into his private ownership.
Disappointed from the moderate power of the engine, AKL1411 has been modified (cam, heads, carbureator (instead of EFI)).
Even this was not enough and seems that the owner lost interest in the car. AKL1411 has been stored in a barn from 2005 for 7 years up to now.
I got the car with all the original equipment like tonneau cover, soft top, spare wheel including the original tires from 1991 mounted (!) and all the engine parts of the original set up.
I have to admit the the colour-combination is a little bit special (jaguar racing green, white stripe with small golden stripes beside; light tan interior), however it is so special that you can love it (again)…. I will do so.
I will refurbish the car without any modification.
AKL1411 will go through a carefully cosmetic recondition only and will get the old engine set up with EFI again.
Being in the original condition down to the last nut and bolt it will be back on the road.
P.S.:
I’m away from my home……but yes, yes photos will come next days.
