The Corvair, launched in 1959. With its uni-body and rear air-cooled flat-six engine, it stood out from the crowd. Originally introduced as a Sedan, later on a Station Wagon, a Coupé, a Rampside Cab-Forward Pickup and finally, a Convertible was launched in 1962.

Leaving the factory as a Monza Series 900 Spyder iteration of the Corvair, this 1964 example benefits from the revised rear factory suspension which addresses the previously known vulnerability. 'CCN 661B' was imported by the vendor from Texas in 2021 and wears a wonderfully period Gold, it was the subject of a restoration by the previous owner, who had carried out the work as a present for his wife. The under-appreciated rear engined Chevy benefitted from a new manual soft-top and the engine bay tinware was replaced and repainted. Originally a turbo model ('Spyder' option), at some point the turbo has been removed, often said to be more economical and less temperamental in ownership. The engine has also benefitted from the change from OE mechanical fuel injection to an electric fuel pump. Although exempt, there has been an MOT that expired on 11th August 2024 and is said to 'run' great with none of the usual oil leaks. At the time of consignment, the heater fan and the tachometer weren't working. The Corvair is being offered with a collection of invoices, manuals for parts and assembly, a technical guide, a workshop manual, a collection of invoices, electric mechanism for the hood and the current V5C.
