We are pleased to offer an extremely rare and highly sought-after collector's item: A Trident Clipper V8, one of only nine ever produced with the powerful Ford 289 High-Performance engine. This particular vehicle, one of ten fitted with the 289ci (4,727cc) Ford Hi-Po V8, delivers 271bhp, enabling it to reach 60mph in under 5 seconds, complete the quarter-mile in 14.3 seconds, and achieve a top speed of 145mph (233km/h). Originally despatched new to International Motors in Austin, Texas, this Clipper is the sixth built, adding to its rarity and prestige.

In excellent condition with veteran status, this Clipper emphasizes authenticity and significant value to collectors. It was rediscovered and painstakingly restored by Peter Toome in 1988 to a 'better than new' condition. The car was showcased at Pebble Beach in 1996 and featured on the front cover of Automobile Quarterly in 1999. Finished in Ferrari Rosso Chiaro with a black Connolly hide interior, this little-known Anglo-American sports car is practically in like-new condition, boasting only approximately 14,000 original kilometers.

The Clipper comes with extensive documentation and numerous invoices that verify the continuous maintenance and care of this classic vehicle. This car is the perfect choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking to add an extraordinary and historically significant automobile to their collection. Don't miss the opportunity to own this unique gem!
