Opel "GT" 1972 - Found lurking in a barn in the South of France is this "abandoned restoration" Opel GT Coupe. Its then French owner had restored the body work into the very good condition you see here today and then run out of funds to complete it. A shame really as such a good job had been done up to this point. Now back here in the UK and being offered "As is" with the French papers to register with once completed. The engine runs very well and the car does move under its own steam but its things like a new ignition switch is required as the keys were lost so a simple flick switch and push button have been wired in to do the job. The gearbox selects all the gears but obviously the car has not been road tested, just driven on to a trailer and round a yard. The brakes do work and the car rolls freely. Its novel swivelling headlights operate correctly. The nice period alloy wheels that are fitted are in good order along with the tyres and the chrome work is good. Interior is a bit "bitty", needs finishing if you like, but appears to be mostly there with the seats being in good order. This is a 15K plus car in the making and what you see is what you get. You will need to source some of the smaller trims etc that are lost but these are all available out there in WWW land. Reserve is set below what we think but the vendor wants to sell not keep. A definite opportunity to buy a very sort after car that the hard work has been done on for you, now well within the realms of the amateur restorer or father and son/daughter team.
