The car was most famous, in the states, for its successful racing history and at $1695 was a very affordable winner of its class. I restored it to the racing format, but it can easily be changed to a neat little sports car with wheel covers, tonneau cover and removal of the vinyl numbers.( I have a new tonneau cover and very nice original wheel covers and spinner option)
It is a museum quality restoration and has won the “Peoples Choice Award at the 2012 Watkins Glen Vintage Weekend, Councourse de Elegance and also its class (ZS) at Britian on the Green, in Washington, D.C. at the Gunston Hall, 2013. It has also been invited back to the Concourse at Watkins for 2013. It is one of the ten best remaining Berkeley SE328 cars in existance.
It was purchased in Tyrone, Pa. and the Owners Manual is included. Many original issues of advertising for the car are included, complete Service Manual, many past issues of Berkeley Exchange, USA , newspaper articles on the car, Shop Manuals, hub caps and spinners, and much more. The car even includes the original rear view mirror, and I have not seen one of those on any other restorations. The book, Berkeley Sportscars-Limited Edition, from England, is also included.
It was complete when found in a friends shed and had been parked there since 1976. The last inspection sticker is still on the windshield, dated July 31, 1976. It still has the original Michelin tires and a new set has been purchased and mounted on Berkeley wheels, for road use. The originals are in very good condition and mounted on there own set of wheels.
I have attached many pictures of the Berkeley, but it must be seen to really be appreciated. I would consider delivering the car and all the mateials, to the new owner, if within a resonable distance from my location. Feel free to ask any questions or if you need additional pictures I will be glad to provide them.
If you want to have a beautifully restored car that very few have ever seen, this is the one. Always the “hit” of the show.
