Lot details Registration No: UMX272F Chassis No: B395019078GTODHRO Mot Expiry: March 2005
Offered here is a Series 5 Alpine that first left the Rootes Coventry works in 1968. We understand that UMX 272F was originally a GT model and was converted to present convertible configuration pre-1980. The current owner says that the Series 5 Alpine, in barn-find state in 1990, was in receipt of a back to bare metal restoration in 1990.
The open bodywork is currently described as being in good condition, the Holly Green paintwork, black interior and alloys all said to be also good, too, and 1725cc 4-cylinder engine reportedly in good order and the 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive excellent. The 88,000 miles displayed on the odometer when entered for this sale is claimed by the vendor to be the genuine total mileage for the car from new. These Rootes Alpines with the 1725 motor represent exceptional practical value for money. Because of its year, of course, this classic qualifies for a tax-exempt disc, whilst the MOT test pass certificate on file will be current until March 2005.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
