A number of the SAOCA officers received this email last night. Does anybody know Chris Fisher? I have no interest in this so thought I'd pass it on to anybody who might have an interest. However, it's one of those moments that seems almost too good to be true, so be careful, it could be a scam.
If you want to see the pictures email me at schristie at unioncentral dot com and I'll forward them to you. Buyer beware!
Dear Scott,
Please see fwd below pics of the completely original, and restored from groundup Hillman Minx, Imp and Husky.
Sorry do not have pics of the (6) Jensen Interceptors, the NEW Sunbeam Alpine RACE ENGINES, or the Imp engines. But mech/aesthetics same as Hillmans!
Actually BETTER as the NEW Sunbeam Race engine and Imp engines still have the Rootes factory tape over the inlet and exhaust from day they were shipped!!
The very rare Sunbeam RACE engine (1840cc) was prepped, built and bought direct from Rootes just before they closed their doors!
Southwest and JetBlue wwere running RT flight specials. Even if you, your group did not buy the cars, the rare & valuable NEW Sunbeam alpine Race Engines & 6 New Imp engines from Rootes and other rare & new Hillman parts could easily justify an inexpensive flight to view, inspect. Disneyland is also appx 30 mins away!!
Lastly maybe few of your group could combine together to pay for your flight and use you as lead person for a ‘buying consortium’ for the new, rare engines & parts?
The New, NOS Imp engines, as well as cranks, cams, other parts he bought directly from Rootes just before they went out of business. He also had 6 Jensen Interceptors he was lovingly restoring so you can imagine The Minx convertibile (gorgeous walnut dash), Imp, Husky are in like new condition, with every part original Rootes. Theyre really incredibile find, as well as are the other new NOS Hillman parts. They definitely look they all youd have to do is wipe off the hanger dust and drive em away. They are without exaggeration that nice. And Ive owned, serviced, restored 56 Jag 140M, 59 Healey 100-6, 67 Austin Cooper s 1275 and a 89 BMW 635CSI. Good news is you will both inspect and negotiate final price for all cars, engines, parts DIRECTLY with the collectors family! You can absolutely photograph, write down, question and are encouraged to otherwise research or test to your satisfaction. Nothing will disappoint you on these finds and all will put a grin on your face. They cars are all original, restored, interior/exterior/mechanical except for the 6 Imp engines which are New from Rootes, and the cranks, cams, other parts which are also direct from Rootes
The Commer which I don’t have pic of is perfectly straight, original in/out w Rootes 1600 engine and appears to be unrestored only because of airport hanger dust as the collector just stored the cars, engines, parts there, never drove the cars, while he focused on the Jensen Interceptors. The Coomer which is also original interior/exterior, immaculately straight body, w original paint is the camper model with Poptop, sink, hammock. Has original Rootes 1600 engine and entire car was shipped from England, rebuilt, was driven, then stored in the airport hanger appx 7 years ago when the collector started focusing on the 6 Jensen Interceptors he owned. But it is Very Obvious when you see the Hillmans that he was enamored with them all. Hey, he bought 6 new NOS Imp engines, other parts had them shipped to US from Rootes and with no immediate need to use them! If you or your group desire, need any of these cars, or parts, they wont disappoint.
They did not set firm price on the cars, engines, parts. The collectors family would prefer and willing to negotiate lot prices for cars, engines, other parts to those who will take as much of this vast & valuable inventory. Theres one gentlemen whos confirmed flying in Saturday and another one Sunday to view. Please confirm ASAP if you, or any of your group want to view, inspect this weekend so I can coordinate time with the collectors family and other interested enthusiasts
