Description
Eagle kit car; Ford 2.0 Pinto engine; Ford running gear; lightweight
GRP bodywork; driven 30 miles to the sale
First registered
in August 1989, this Eagle RV Jeep was built from a kit supplied by Eagle Cars
Ltd of West Sussex. It has a lightweight glass fibre body sat on a box-section
tubular steel chassis with Ford running gear.
It
has a twin-carb Ford Pinto 2.0 engine with automatic choke mated to a Ford
gearbox and rear axle. It rides on 16” Alascan wide wheels fitted with a set of
chunky all-terrain tyres. We are told that it has recently been fitted with new
heavy duty shocks front and rear, with poly bushes fitted to most of the
suspension. It has aluminium checker plate floor pans and a capacious
covered rear load area.
We are further told
that: “It runs and drives well with strong pulling power, and burbles along at
50mph with a fruity sound from the big bore side-exit exhaust”. The
paintwork has been deliberately distressed to give it that essential ‘Rat Rod’
look.
Correctly registered as an Eagle on the
V5C, it has an MOT until October 2026 with no advisories recorded. It also comes
with three older V5C documents naming three of the five previous keepers and a
1983 copy of Kit Car magazine with a three-page feature on the Eagle RV
kit.
Driven some 30 miles to the sale, it has
been running and driving on site for the video.
