Wilco Aviation is excited to present this immaculate Luscombe Silvaire 8E for sale. Exclusively listed with us, G-LUSC is situated at its private home base near Husbands Bosworth. If you’re in the market for a Luscombe that has undergone a comprehensive restoration from the ground up, sparing you the concerns of extensive future maintenance, this aircraft surpasses even factory-new standards! The award-winning G-LUSC underwent a meticulous restoration in 2016, encompassing a full nut, bolt, and rivet refurbishment. Every exterior panel of the aircraft has been replaced and meticulously polished, resulting in the radiant mirror finish it boasts today. Every single component underwent either overhaul or replacement, rendering this aircraft a “New Classic” devoid of the typical issues associated with vintage aircraft. A comprehensive list detailing the parts and work undertaken is available upon request, complete with photographic evidence showcasing the exacting nature of the restoration. The original Continental C-85 engine was zero-timed, and since the restoration, both the engine and airframe have logged a mere 22 hours of flight time. Upon delivery, the aircraft will be accompanied by a new LAA permit to fly.
