Footnotes

Sussex-based kit-car builder Pilgrim manufactures sports cars in a variety of classic styles, the Sumo being influenced by the legendary AC Cobra. Introduced in 1987, the Sumo offered enthusiasts a less expensive route to 'Cobra' ownership, using Ford Cortina engines and running gear. The Mk2 brought with it Ford Granada independent rear suspension and the option of Ford V6 engines or, later, the Rover V8. In 1993 the Mk3 Sumo was introduced in two forms, one using Ford Sierra running gear, the other Jaguar. The steel chassis combines ladder frame, spaceframe and monocoque construction techniques, while the bodywork is hand crafted in glassfibre. Like many similar vehicles the Sumo is available for self-build or as a 'turn key' car, with a wide range of options to individual customer choice.
Previously owned by one Geoffrey Richard Goult, this 2.8-litre, Ford V6-engined Pilgrim Sumo was purchased by well-known collector, the late Barry Burnett in 1996. Offered for sale by his family, the car was last MoT'd in 2004 and will need re-commissioning before returning to the road. A Swansea V5 comes with the vehicle, which is sold strictly as viewed.
