For Sale : Hawk 289 Le Mans

Post by JohnKox »

Image

Hawk 289 Le Mans, built/set-up in 2003 by John Abel, well known for several highly acclaimed Hawk 289 builds.

Fully documented build (with invoices, build manual, cd-rom with all info), website : http://homepage.ntlworld.com/marion.abel/cobra289.htm

Ford V8 351Windsor (330bhp) engine from new with Edelbrock Performer inlet manifold and Borg Warner T5 gearbox with race gearing.

Superb build quality with great attention to detail (f.i. meticulous aluminum lining and 6-nozzle circular fire extinguisher in engine bay) and immaculate paintwork.

Underbody s/s twin exhaust, interconnected for massive torque output.

3rd Owner for past 8 years, now 8.500 miles.

Dutch registration and recent MOT/TÜV, no Q-plate upon re-entry in UK (prev. MRD761J) and as easily registered in any EU country. (John Abel will assist, if needed, to get it back on an UK registration).

Absolute dream to drive and in excellent condition.

Price £ 34,500

If you are interested, please contact me by email.

Kind regards,

John Kox

Hi Bill,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, there is a lot of interested in this Hawk, people from the UK, Belgium, France and Switzerland did contact me. I think it will not take long, before it will get a new owner.

Kind regards,

John

Hello John, is the car still available? I am a member of the 289 register and have a Hawk myself. Now a friend got also interested in buying a Hawk. Is the rear axle now Jag or MG, because it was build back then with a solid axle.
Regards Karl

Could you put the new owner in touch with T289R, it would be good to have him/car as a club member.

He already is! Car arrived yesterday - John was very professional throughout and even delivered the car himself. Many thanks to John Kox and also John Abel for providing very useful information regarding the build

(Yes I bought this instead of building one. I couldnt resist it, and its exactly what I wanted to create)

Looking forward to meeting some of you folk at upcoming events.

Well done, that's a great car that you now own.

Goodwood Revival is in two weeks time, plenty of T289R members there during the weekend.
