1973 2.4S
Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:19 pm
I thought it was about time I started a new thread for my car with updated photos
My car is a 1973 2.4S complete with matching numbers engine & gearbox with about 75000miles on the clock. Originally specced & supplied for the Italian market with light yellow ( 117 hellgelb) paint, tinted glass & recaro sport seats. The cars has no other extras & even has wind up windows As it is a LHD it was also fitted as standard with the plastic 80Lt fuel tank.
UPDATE : I now have the Italian history
The car was originally bought in 1973 by a 30year old gentleman from the VICENZA area, who kept the car until 1994 . It then went into the hands of another local Italian who it appears used it for Historic regularitys ( there is evidence of a Halda being fitted ). The car was imported into the UK in the 1998 where it was kept in storage for a few years, only venturing out every so often to have a run through Europe to the South of France.
UPDATE : More history details
According to the 2nd Italian owner, he sold it to a German in 1998 . My records show it was UK registered 17th March 1998
here is the advert when he had it for sale

I have no details of the import Seems paperwork was not treasured then as it is today.
After import is where I'm missing info .... because according to Mark Waring the car also passed through his hands at some point, here are the photos he's got on his website

I do know a Mr Harrington was owning it in 1999 as I have a receipt for gearbox rebuild ( done in the south or France ! ) It appears he was the 1st UK reg keeper.
The previous owner to me bought the car via EH in Dec 2001 & I bought it in 2003
Anyway, car is pretty much all stock. The only modifications I have done are fitted a 380mm 'RS' steering wheel and elephant racing bushes all round. The car is also lower than standard.
