Aircraft Story

UK Aviation Sales Ltd are pleased to offer this extensively upgraded 1965 Reims Cessna F172G, a highly specified example combining the proven Cessna 172 platform with a more powerful 180 hp Lycoming O-360 engine conversion.

With 6,263 hours total airframe time, the aircraft benefits from the Air Plains STC upgrade from the original Continental O-300 to the Lycoming O-360-A4M, providing increased power and capability. The propeller has just 182 hours since overhaul.

The aircraft underwent a complete corrosion inspection and bare-metal respray in 2015, followed by further paintwork and preventative attention in 2023. The exterior is described as being in excellent condition.

Inside, the aircraft received a full interior refurbishment in 2021, with Italian leather-covered yokes added in 2022 and a refurbished avionics panel in 2023.

A major £50,000+ avionics upgrade completed in 2023 further modernised the aircraft, making this an exceptionally well-equipped F172G for touring, private flying and hour building.

A distinctive and comprehensively upgraded Reims Cessna F172G for sale in the UK, offering classic Cessna practicality with 180 hp performance, modern equipment and an extensively refurbished interior and exterior.
