Saw this ad and thought of you...
1974 Vauxhall Magnum
"
Seller's description
Known as Magnumania. An original 70s custom and a well known car in its day. Rover V8 3.5 with a 4 barrel holley and Offenhauser manifold.
Ford gearbox and a narrowed Jag IRS at the rear.
This car has a lot going for it, but, it does have areas of corrosion.
The battery leaked and rusted the battery tray away.
Both lower rear corners and spare wheel well on the drivers side need doing.
The sills look okay, but on closer inspection could do with replacing and the bonnet isn't the best.
There's areas of surface rust all over. I have a few panels to go with the car.
These include, 2 x rear arches, 2 x sills, lower rear panel and a pair of used doors.
I have replaced the boot lid with new old stock Vauxhall item.
Make no mistake, this car will need a thorough going through with equal amounts of time and money spent on it.
But, it is a car that has been registered as a 3.5 V8 since the very early 80s making it a legitimate tax and MOT free modified car.
Price is negotiable.

^ Interesting, there was another similar custom car that was recently unearthed. Unless this is it.

Not sure about the luxury seats, but they were a lot of fun, till the diff rotted off the boot floor!

I'm sure it rusted spectacularly.

I'd expect so too.
I think it was used by one of the crab / lobster fishermen to transport the catch from the shoreline. I'd seen it there for a number of years before I took the photo. Out of curiosity I checked earlier today, and it passed an MOT in 2017 with very few advisories (the ones a few years earlier were epic, however!)
