1995 DODGE VIPER RT/10 ROADSTER

KEY FACTS

• A fantastic example of the American icon, presented in excellent, highly original condition and with very low mileage from new.
• Under the bonnet is the 400bhp 8.0-litre aluminium V10, which drives the rear wheels via a six-speed BorgWarner T56 manual transmission.
• The odometer displays just 16,998km (or 10,562 miles).
• Delivered new to the UK and first registered in February 1995, this Viper was acquired by the seller 26 years ago.
• Pampered throughout their ownership, it has been stored in a heated and air-conditioned garage, serviced and detailed regularly, and never driven in the rain.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Envisioned by Bob Lutz as a modern-day version of the Shelby Cobra, the Dodge Viper took a back-to-basics approach to sports car design, with a focus on performance and driving thrills over unnecessary luxuries.
• Finished in Viper Red over a grey leather interior, this RT/10 rides on the correct three-spoke alloy wheels, and is fitted with its original Chrysler-branded radio/cassette player.
• Indeed, the car is completely original throughout, with no modifications or changes from its factory specification.
• This Viper will be accompanied by all of its original documents and handbooks.

CONDITION

• No bodywork damage.
• Having never been repainted, the Viper Red paintwork is in superb order, with a bright and glossy appearance.
• Inside, the cabin is in great shape, with only very slight creasing on the grey leather-clad seats, in line with the car’s limited mileage.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical issues with the vehicle, nor are there any warning lights displayed on the dashboard.
• This Viper’s last MOT test was conducted on 11 February 2021 at 16,870km. This resulted in a clean first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car’s most recent routine maintenance was a major service including replacement of the auxiliary belt, which was carried out in May 2021 at 16,985km by CPS Garage Services.
• CPS also carried out maintenance in 2019, and in total there are 16 documented services from new.
