1986 LINCOLN TOWN CAR

KEY FACTS

• An eye-catching 1980s American luxury saloon, with very low mileage.
• Under the bonnet is the 302ci (4.9-litre) Ford ‘5.0 Windsor’ V8 with electronic fuel injection, producing around 150hp and 270lb-ft of torque, coupled to a four-speed AOD automatic gearbox.
• It was previously supplied by Peter Jarvis Classic Cars and has been serviced regularly by an American car enthusiast-owner.
• The car was imported to the UK and re-registered with the DVLA in February 2007.

• Its original owner’s manuals will be included, alongside a raft of maintenance invoices and a clean Carfax report covering its time in the US.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its original Blue Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition, with just some minor stone chips on the nose, a few light scratches around the door locks and some swirl marks under direct sunlight.
• Inside, the Blue Velour upholstery is slightly faded, but it remains in very good shape overall, commensurate with the very low mileage.
• No electrical faults have been detected; however the PIN entry system has not been tested, so is not guaranteed to work.

SERVICE HISTORY
