Luger Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The Sabre was built from a Scimitar experimental hull and there were only four made. As far as we are aware it’s the only one left in existence, so it has a bit of provenance. It had a Scorpion turret on when it arrived at Rapid Restorations, but has since been changed to a Sabre turret. This road registered, petrol-engined Sabre still has all the prototype driver’s controls – so the dash has a key to start, no generator box, just direct from alternator. There are holes on the inside of the fighting compartment where, back in the day, the weight bar was situated to simulate crew and internals for trials. We can help with export and transport if required. Price £42,000 Please call 07980 449 721 for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luger Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi Terry - how are you? I hope all's good! Rob Dove and his Brother checked the vehicle's history pretty thoroughly before we bought it - we asked the same question - and they reckoned it started as an Experimental vehicle - maybe it subsequently went to Belgium. If anyone's interested, I'm sure he'll still have the documentation for the experimental part of its life. Cheers Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10FM68 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 If it was a 'rare' CVR(T) - one of only four, then what a shame it was turned into a 'bitsa' by fitting a new and incorrect turret. As such I can't see the value of any 'provenance' 10 68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
