Description
KEY FACTS This is a unique and eye-catching Bitter SC Cabriolet 'Restomod', boasting a significant engine upgrade. It is powered by a 6.0-litre V8 LS2 sourced from a Holden Mareno, driving the rear wheels via a retrofitted six-speed manual transmission. First registered in 1990, this left-hand-drive car was previously registered overseas, but was imported to the UK and registered with the DVLA in 2005. The odometer shows 4,687 miles, which the seller states is the mileage covered since completion of the restomod build. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES It is understood that fewer than 25 examples of the Bitter SC Cabriolet were delivered worldwide. This car's original straight-six engine failed on a previous owner, and so the decision was made to take the opportunity to convert it to a more substantial powertain. Finished in Mercedes-Benz Nautic Blue, with a contrasting red interior. Other modifications fitted or carried out during the 'restomod' conversion reportedly include: ceramic free-flow manifolds, a stainless-steel exhaust system, and chassis reinforcement. Accompanied by various documents as shown in the photo gallery, and a car cover, along with two keys. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: minor cosmetic repairs to the paint SERVICE HISTORY The seller states that the last maintenance was recorded in June 2026 at an indicated 4,650 miles. Service documentation accompanies the car. SUMMARY The Bitter SC Cabriolet represents a rare blend of classic European styling with modern-era performance enhancements.
