The cars PSN number ( production sequence number ) shows that it was one of the first 400 GTR XU-1'S ever built., ( my PSN number is H175274 ).
First registered new in New Zealand on the 11th of December 1970, the original owner was Tony Shelly ( Formula One racing car driver ) Tony Shelly raced in the British Grand Prix in 1962 as well as many other prestigious race circuits during his career. Tony raced this car for 16 months on the nz circuits.
The car has had a complete repaint ( $10,500 ) in it's original colour ( 1815, Plumdinger ) approx five years ago and still looks as new.
The engine was completely rebuilt 1 year ago ( $8,000 ) has a lumpy cam with a H26 grind, also had a new Starter motor and a new Alternator at the same time, the engine is a beast.
Please note the car does not retain it's original block but does have it's original crank and numbers matching head and triple 150 Stromburg carbs ( which have also been fully rebuilt ) the rebuild was extensive and the car runs and sounds amazing, always turns heads. This car has great history and is truly exhilarating to drive.
The under side of the bonnet has been signed by Peter Brocks brothers ( Phil & Lewis ) the car has central locking, is alarmed and also comes with a complete set of original wheels in excellent condition.Please note the car is located in NZ and the cost of shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser but I am happy to help out in any way possible. Approx cost of shipping to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne is $2,000.
