Does the Ultima have A/C?
What is the date stamp on the tyres?
What s the switch hanging down under the dash?
Thanks, Ben
Hi BenWhat is the date stamp on the tyres?
What s the switch hanging down under the dash?
Thanks, Ben
Thank you for the interest and your questions.
The seller is selling as the car used to belong to her late husband, so there will be some things that we just don't know.
She understand the car does not have A/C but does have a little fan attached the dash to help push the air around to give some light relief, but we assume the thrill would be too much for you to notice the temperature in the car
There is nothing known about the switch under the dash i'm afraid
Good luck with your bidding and thank you again
1. The switch. Wiring on these was super simple, so it'll be easy to work out. I suspect it's an addon related to the dash.
2. It was common for the Sports to not have AC.
3. Tyres do look like the originals that a lovely chap call Andy Wyatt was bringing in to the country for a few of us, and even the factory, I think "back then".
Looks like a car that has sat for quite a while, but with a bit of love again it'll be great
(I have a 1999 Spyder)

So it's a non-runner then?
I also assume it won't have a fresh MOT put on it prior to sale?
Thank you for your commentI also assume it won't have a fresh MOT put on it prior to sale?
due to the the circumstances of sale the seller was unable to complete the water pump and battery replacement which would enable the car to be taken for an MOT to be made road legal... everything else on the car is as it should be and in working order.
The reserve has been set in accordance with this so that any would be buyer is able to complete the replacements and have a great Ultima for road and track use if they chose.
Good luck with you bidding

Do you know if the rear wing and pylons need to be removed for MOT? Or is the car road legal the way it sits?
Good questionAccording to the DVLA (website) no you do not need to remove the rear wing for MOT, so long as it meets safety and security standards, i.e is not wobbly doesn't have jagged edges and any lights mounted work ok.
Hope this helps
Good luck with your bidding
Trying to remember from back then - I don't recall hearing of people having to remove the wing on any, but it's just nuts & bolts even if you do.
(e.g visibility of the rear number plate)
For general use, the sports and spyder do require a rear wing aerodynamically, so if temporarily removed, do put it back on!
