| Post subject: | Camilla the Nos Matching 68 Convertible For Sale |
Dear All After much deliberation I have decided to let Camilla go to a new home- thing is that I have inherited a house that needs a new roof and windows etc! Camilla is my numbers matching 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible- I am only the third owner from new and I have ALL the history of the car since new. Subject to a complete restoration in 1995 by RPM and subsequent work in 2010 she is in perfect condition. The suspension is Hotchkiss and Global west, the tyres and battery and exhaust new. Mileage is 132k from new but all components have been rebuilt since 1968. Camilla has a 327CID VD fitted with a lovely smooth 390 Holley for good fuel economy and torque on an Edelbrock Torquer manifold, she has a 2 speed powerglide auto transmission (that was rebuilt by the late and great Tony Gransden years ago). Camilla has starred in many adverts for classic car insurance as well as perhaps most memorably starring with David Beckham in an advert for Adidas Shoes see: |

Just took Camilla to b&q for some house stuff on Saturday and immediately regretted putting her up for sale- honestly she is so well sorted and useable and driveable So have retracted the advert just as someone expressed interest! I shall have to find the £25k for 16 windows and the flat roof repair and 8 radiators & new heating system from somewhere else!! |

I love a story with a happy ending...good move retracting the ad . A 1st gen convertible like Camilla is an icon ,and it would be a sad day to have to part with such a piece of Camaro history . With all this sunshine wish my convertible was on the road instead of awaiting restoration... |

That's some very good news, glad that you are holding on to her  Shame about getting the offer the same day lol. Good to hear that she will be staying with you. Who needs heating anyway, it's summer. Plus the lack of windows will keep a nice breeze going through the house
