Middlebridge 61 For Sale

MB61 FOR SALE - COMPLETE PACKAGE

1991 (originally H-reg) 2.9litre Scorpio V6 EFI 5-speed manual. Under 59,000 miles. Metallic racing green with cream interior and leather seat facings with (uniquely I believe) a factory-fit 'Scimitar' branded Taylor-made opening sun roof. Good overall condition. Usual Middlebridge features of galvanised chassis, stainless exhausts and fuel tank, and electric windows and mirrors.

I have owned this car since early 2015 and during that time (and with the previous owner) it has always been garaged. Pretty much everything on it works as it should, including the HRW and rear wiper - wash may need some attention but it has worked in the past. Tailgate courtesy light isn't working - I've never investigated why - and under-bonnet light is disconnected to avoid inadvertent battery drain.

Work done on it in my ownership includes:

  • New Alpine audio head (incl front USB) c/w all speakers (JBL)
  • All-plastic marine fans for ventilation
  • New Goodridge stainless braided steel brake hoses
  • New Italvolanti leather steering wheel
