BODYWORK & PAINTWORK

This Gardner Douglas 427 MK3 is presented in excellent overall condition, showing fewer than 7,000 documented kilometres since completion. The car is built on a factory EU-spec chassis and finished to a very high standard, showcasing the craftsmanship for which Gardner Douglas is renowned.

The bodywork is straight and damage-free, with tight panel gaps and precise alignment. The paintwork presents beautifully, with a deep, even gloss and no scratches, dents, or stone chips of note. The detachable hardtop is included and fits perfectly. Brightwork and trim are in excellent condition throughout.

MECHANICALLY & TECHNICAL CONDITION

Mechanically, this 427 MK3 is in outstanding condition. It is powered by the robust Ford 5.0 V8 HO EFI engine, paired with a Borg Warner 5-speed manual gearbox — a combination delivering thrilling performance with smooth and precise power delivery.

The tubular double-wishbone suspension with fully adjustable coil-over shocks ensures excellent handling and ride comfort. A stainless-steel 2.5” bore exhaust system provides a deep and authentic V8 sound, while the Scorpio Cosworth limited-slip differential ensures traction and stability.

The car starts easily, idles smoothly, and performs exactly as expected. Steering, braking, and suspension are tight and confidence-inspiring. Regular maintenance has been performed, with invoices included for recent servicing.

INTERIOR

The interior is trimmed in high-quality leather seats and full carpeting, both in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. The cockpit retains a pure and functional layout, combining classic style with a refined finish. All instruments, switches, and electrical systems operate as they should.

The driving position is comfortable and supportive, suitable for both spirited driving and longer tours. The hardtop offers added versatility and weather protection when needed.

DOCUMENTATION

This Gardner Douglas 427 MK3 comes with extensive and detailed documentation, including:

Full photographic report of the build process

Original purchase invoices and Gardner Douglas documentation

Registration papers

Original sales brochures

Dyno performance printout
