[FOR SALE] 1972 Corris Rivett SLX 2.0 - PERFORMANCE MODEL

Hello.

I am selling my 1972 Corris Rivett SLX with the rare and desirable performance spec.

This car was professionally restored in my driveway in January of 1999 by me, and has been garagekept at some point in its life, probably maybe.

The car was bought as a bare shell for 500MK and was restored with original Corris parts. It has subsequently also been getting serviced at a Corris dealership between 1999 and now. I have the service history documented in the booklet that originally came with the car. The car was built in Rheine, Germany. Making it a very well-built example.

It features the high performance NE spec 2L 4cyl engine, exhaust, aswell as the numbers matching stiffened standard suspension with 14in SLX rims. The power brakes work extremely well and have been the reason why this car has kissed so many trees before.

Paint was done by Fleetaris Repair Shop originally back in 1999, however the car has also been resprayed in 2004, 2013 and 2022 after several mishaps with some liquor and some paint cans. I have receipts for all of these. I also have the liquor bottles that caused the incidents.

The numbers all match on the car and it has subsequently gotten its historical plates on, though I do also have the original non-historic plates from when the car was still unfinished and being driven around as a regular daily driver back in the '90s.

No visible rust on the car, vinyl roof is all original and shows no sign of wear or tear. No, I will not drive to a garage for you to put it on a lift and check underneath. This car has NEVER had any welding work done to it!

Mileage is not relevant, you are buying an old car. The odometer doesn't work anyways, so don't bother checking.

I recently changed the water pump and also rewired parts of the interior. Some further wiring work is required. Nothing too difficult for a skilled mechanic or hobbyist.

The car runs and drives, albeit it has problems idling and backfires violently. It stalls frequently when driving off aswell. Gearbox is original and has never been off the car after it was restored.

This car is an honest classic that can serve as a great project car or garagepiece for a dedicated Corris enthusiast. I daily drove this car from 1999 up until 2024, all year round in all weather conditions. I will not sell it to banger racers or tuners.

Price is 19,500€ firm. Will not trade and will not be lowballed. Lowballers get blocked. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Cleaned! At last.

For those that may remember;

I made a post a while ago about the cooling system for this car because i was going to the Netherlands.

The fan clutch was dead. The car made it to the Netherlands and back with no proper cooling system. It survived.

New fan clutch was installed today due to an impending heatwave. I flew too close to the sun last week with the broken fan clutch.

The Ruhrpott Special

I’ve seen a 190E in real life that was close to this spec. Colour was different though.

Darf man eigentlich bei solcher Hitze arbeiten ohne Klima?

Ich rede hier von purer Legalität. Es wird sehr oft drüber geredet auf meiner Arbeit, das es ab 35°C im Gebäude, nicht mehr als Arbeitsplatz gelten darf/soll. Ich arbeite in einem Büro.

Ich bin am Freitag aufgrund der Hitze nachhause geschickt worden, weil ich einen Anfall gekriegt habe. Jedoch war der Rest des Teams am arbeiten und hat kein frei gekriegt.

Unser Büro hat kein Klima und die Ventilatoren welche wir nutzen, schmeißen nur heiße Luft in unser Gesicht.

Ist sowas erlaubt? Stimmt dass mit der 35°C Raumtemperatur und das Arbeitsverhältnis?

The Stanier's bonus page implies that we do infact have limited storage on us.

The fact that the vehicles now feature "weapon lockers" (trunk, probably) makes me think that this confirms the theory that we have a limited carry capacity on our characters now. And that cars will be akin to horses in RDR2, where we actually do need to use them to store stuff and change our inventory up on the go.

I've made a huge mistake.

I had a friend in Texas go look at the Wendover. He lowballed the guy down to 2k and bought it on my behalf. I flew down to Texas to drive it home and uh.. it's worse than made out. No rust!

But terrible, terrible performance. The V8 feels sluggish and heavy, as if it can barely turn itself. It pops and bangs all the time. I'm on my way to another guys house to pick up a headlight for the passenger side and then it's back to Maine. Will it survive, is what I am wondering.

Let’s see your off-road classics!

I didn’t get first. But I also didn’t get last!

And it’s fixed!

Spoiled it today by fixing the squeak in the front and getting it a new wiper blade.

Well, the car in Utah was sold. But I found this in Texas...

I'm interested in Wendovers at the moment after I heard some good things about them from my post regarding the one for sale in Utah. This is a private listing on BeamBook. I will copy the listing over, would really appreciate some help choosing if I should buy it or not.
