The vendor has provided the following:
- This is a Citroen special based on 2CV running gear, with a bespoke chassis and body (designed by renowned car designer Richard Oakes). Because of this, it is fantastic to drive, and as only 68 were produced, it is a very rare and head-turning car
- It has been in the same family ownership since it was built by a mechanical engineer back in 2000, and has been properly registered as a Blackjack Avion, with a nice older registration plate
- Prior to putting the car on the road, all parts were refurbished, including rebuilding the engine(later and higher power 602cc) and gearbox, which are still in very good condition. The bodywork and chassis are also in very good condition; there are just a few paint blemishes here and there, with a slight crazing mark on the bonnet, but it doesn't detract from the overall look
- The Avion easily passed the MOT, with no advisories, and has had a recent service, including new Michelin tyres
- It also comes with a new aluminium tank (made by the new owner of the Avion production rights and directly replaces the fibreglass original one, which is prone to leaking. Recent battery & fuel pump, Lumenition electronic ignition, two optional and detachable perspex windscreens (for different height drivers), full tonneau and side covers, spare wheel, detachable steering wheel, pannier mounts, luggage rack and 12v aux socket
- There is also a comprehensive folder of paperwork that includes the original build manual, along with a selection of spare parts, including a new front mudguard (this fits left or right-hand side)
- Please note that whilst the odometer reads 1,150, the car has done 23,400 miles since the build, and there is documentation to prove this
