FNB 240C
1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa convertible.
Registered in April 2019.
Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"V5 Present
MoT Exempt
Chassis number: 107675W294647
"The Corvair ‑ one of Chevrolet's attempts to battle the wave of European small car imports reaching the USA during the 1960s ‑ remains the only American‑designed, mass‑produced car with a rear‑mounted, air‑cooled engine; an accolade that is probably unlikely to be taken away now.
"This 1965 example, which was brought to the UK and registered here in April 2019, is a top‑of‑the‑range Corsa model with 2.7‑litre flat‑six engine with four‑barrel carburettor. It's a matching numbers cars that the vendor tells us has been little used since its import, registration and MoT in 2019. When not being driven, it has been dry‑stored. "All is working fine," according to the vendor, and this includes the hood motor. The odometer shows 60,331 miles ‑ albeit unwarranted ‑ and the last MoT expired in March 2020 ‑ although as an historic vehicle, one is no longer needed.
"The paperwork includes the V5C, owner's manual, some invoices from the car's US and British residencies, technical, workshop and assembly information, parts catalogues and other sundry paperwork."
Sold for £9288 including premium.
