This 123GT was ordered new on 11th October 1968, an was ordered in the rare Dark Blue colour (most 123GT’s were either Red, Green or White). It was also ordered with the tunnel tray, the current owner sourced a replacement as it was long gone. The original owner took it to RUDDS to have it converted to a Ruddspeed car, it must be the only 123GT in Dark Blue and a Ruddspeed. The car currently has period Cosmic rims, but will shortly be going back to the standard GT rims. The car has never been restored, but has had work to it over the years including new paint, interior and carpet. It recently went over it’s first 100,000 miles on the speedo.
