I’ve been asked by a friends sister to help her sell/dispose of her late brothers Gentry, which unfortunately hasn’t been started in 10+ years. It’s a work in progress and is at the primer stage and the V5 says the donor vehicle was “white” and appears to be MGB based. It seems to be an older kit as the instructions are from when the factory was in Barwell. I believe the owner was a club member as the 3 keys are on one of your key fobs.

The car was bought as a Spartan but after much contact with both clubs its a Gentry. It needs a respray as lots of dots in the paintwork. It has been undersealed and drives very quickly engine very good.

This beautiful head turner of a car is based on a 1967 Triumph Herald 1200. It was completely rebuilt by an engineer, including an engine recondition, starting in about 2008 and finishing in approx 2013 when he passed away. It then went into storage until I bought it out of probate in 2020. I have spent over £4500 having it finished, including new hood, new tyres and a new water pump, new dynamo , new battery, reconditioned wiper motor, new fuel pump, new rear brake pads and cylinders and five new tyres. The car is correctly registered as a historic vehicle and as a Triumph Gentry. It is Tax and MOT exempt, starts first time, does not smoke or leak oil, having only been driven approximately 500 miles since the rebuild and has never been driven in the wet.
