 1964 Bond Equipe 2+2

Yesh!  It's a BOND!  An Equipe 2+2 which like the Gilbern is a rare four seater.  Your chance to acquire James for road or competition use starts here! Registered AOJ 339B the previous owner thought it might stand for Any Odd Job.  The car is from 1964 and the model was homologated for competition use and performed honourably in the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally.  The Equipe was based on a slightly modified Triumph Herald chassis with the popular and tuneable Triumph Spitfire engine.  450 of these were made, fewer than 30 survive and perhaps fewer than 20 are on the road.

This example has been in dry storage for many years, re-trimmed in the late 1970s it has been used little since.  It is very original and, unusually, complete and though much of the paint has been stripped the glass fibre body is in good condition.    The rear has been used to make a mould so some of the rear lights have been removed but they are in the small pile of parts that come with the car.

An excellent spares package to prepare this car as fast road/race/rally includes a good Spitfire 1300cc engine, two spare diffs, two spare propshafts, overdrive gearbox, new Weber 40 DCOE and manifold, tubular competition manifold, new brake callipers, new brake master cylinder, rear brake cylinders, pipes, Goodrich brake hoses, engine mounts, alloy bell-housing, twin harnesses, wooden dash, crankshaft, new front upper wishbones and external door handles.
