Cars for sale / Capri Green G40 Shell

Last post by G40Nik - July 17, 2025, 11:59:22 AM

Looking at selling my Genuine Capri Green Polo G40 Shell non Sunroof.
132k miles

Note : No Engine or Gearbox! Just Shell

It needs welding work on the floor which meets inner sill.
Few holes areas have been treated to stop spread .
The battery box has had a plate welded by previous owner.
The Chassis legs have been strengthened where they commonly crack .
Will come with

Original G40 Clocks
interior loom and Engine loom
Sits on  TA Tecknix Coilovers
Rear Lamps and headlamps.
Bonnet in Black .
There is not much of an interior as was stripped out by previous owner as was going to be a track car.
Part of dashboard is there and steering column with Momo steering wheel.
There are some bit of spares .

If I get price i want I will throw in the 14inch BBS alloys with near new tyres on .

Have a Set of Keys and logbook stating G40

This would be Ideal with someone with a non G40 Shell but with all G40 running gear and get it Transferred into this when all the work on this is carried out .

Be Nice to See a Genuine Capri Green G40  back on the road!

Please only respond if you need more info or are Genuinely intrested!

Ideally Looking for £850  Based in West Midlands

I know one sold for £10k 3 years ago or so. Might have been an £11k one since.

Anyway, that doesn't really matter just curiousity.

Hopefully you're still enjoying it. Get some photos of it up!

very cool! So has this set a new record for a G40 sale price in the UK?

Please don't think I paid anything near the asking price, but yeah I am not sure what the top end price has been for a G40

Jabbasport still do them I think, I think JMR do them too: https://www.johnmitchellracing.co.uk/

Or you can ask PeteG40 on here, sometimes he has time to do charger services.

hey Sam

The charger was serviced and belt replaced last year with a handful of miles done since. Got my 1st proper drive out in it today and I had a smile from ear to ear!

I'd be changing the charger timing belt at the very least before running it btw. There is a guide on here I think on how to do it.

I want to recommission my G40 after about 10 year storage. Been garaged in dry conditions. I seem to recall there used to be a couple of garages that did charger refurbs and recons of G40s. Any recommendations?
