Ownership & History

Owner Comments
I purchased the car from
Mathewsons Auction. It is an 1970 S4 upgraded to a Sprint. The engine was built by QED and has been Dyno tested to produce 142bhp. It appears to be in good condition generally. A few niggles to sort such as sky high oil pressure and crusty tyres.
