1971 Opel GT - Auction - Warwickshire, - Offered here is a recently re-commissioned Opel GT prepared to competition specification for classic endurance racing or classic hill climbing. It has raced in the 'Swinging Sixties' series organised by the CSSC, and whilst it has only been hill-climbed in France and the Channel Islands it is fitted with the appropriate transducer for UK events.The vendor undertook an extensive overhaul to bring the car up to the standard you see today with the work being carried out by a former 70's F1 race mechanic and all-round veteran of motor sport. This Opel is powered by a period 2.4 litre CIH engine with Risse Motor Sports parts including a special camshaft, custom pistons, a lightweight flywheel and a racing clutch, all carefully balanced. Fuel is supplied through a couple of 45DCOE Webers and exhausted through a Tony Law custom-made race system. The engine produces approximately 180bhp with huge amounts of torque.The gearbox is a 5-speed ZF unit with a short throw shift all in very good condition and mated to a period rear axle and LSD. The 'stopping' department is courtesy of larger front disc brakes with appropriate calipers, new Mintex 1144 pads and larger than standard rear drum brakes all with servo assistance. The fuel tank is a custom-made, 80 litre, foam filled unit with twin Facet fuel pumps on individual switches to a pressure adjustable filter assembly.To better improve reliability, the car has been fitted with a bespoke radiator with a switchable electric fan and large oil cooler, and in addition houses a cockpit-controlled electric cold air feed to the carburettor and manifold area to aid cooling. The car has now been upgraded to a hydraulic clutch operation, and the suspension has been uprated and poly-bushed with high-grade springs, competition roll-bars and Koni competition dampers all round.Internally, the car is fitted with a roll cage by Custom Cages, a Ridgard Classic race seat with belts signed off to the end of 2016, a plumbed in fire extinguisher system-recently tested (2015), and the relevant battery cut out and fire safety pulls on the rear of the car. The wiring has been renewed and revised to suit, with new dash mounted instruments and console switch panel with everything separately fused.The car sits on nearly new Yokohama AO21R 185-60-14 rain tyres, with a spare set of 4 used Yokohama AO48 190-60-14 dry tyres mounted on competition rims. The car has been set up to handle very well and to inspire confidence.This is a race car, and therefore no MoT has been granted or sought, however, it is understood that only minor alterations would be necessary in order for a test to be granted if one so wished.Given the work that has been lavished on this car by highly skilled and experienced hands, we confidently believe that a new owner will be pleased with the car, particularly if you are fortunate enough to secure it within the extremely realistic guide price....
