SUMMARY
One of just 16 examples of this very rare development of the early-1970s Clan Crusader, this Clan Clover has been subject to a photo-documented restoration costing over £19,000.
DESCRIPTION
- In 1982, some 'unofficial' Clan Crusader body moulds were bought by Peter McCandless who started a new company, Clan Cars Ltd, in Newtownards, NI
- We understand that about 120 road cars and ten competition cars were built over the next four years
- In 1985, Clan Cars developed a new, mid-engined version called the Clan Clover which utilised a 1,490cc, 105bhp Alfa Romeo flat-four engine and gearbox
- This remarkably well-preserved example is believed to be #13 of the 16 produced and presents well in glorious red paintwork with grey-piped red sports seats and sits on colour-coded, split-rim, compomotive alloys
- Over £19,000 in invoices from a classic vehicle specialist document a thorough mechanical overhaul in 2020 including an engine rebuild, gearbox, brake system, fuel system, tyres and running gear
- A photographic account from the initial thorough inspection through to reassembly shows professional attention to detail
- There is an active Clan Owners Club with parts-support and various exclusive events
- Very well presented and obviously cared for, this rare Irish classic will surely turn heads and provoke conversation at any classic car show
