Bellanca 7ECA Citabria G-BOID

We are pleased to offer this 1975 Bellanca 7ECA Citabria G-BOID for sale on behalf of its long-term owner, who has been its custodian for over 30 years. This classic two-seat tandem tailwheel aircraft is powered by the 115 hp Lycoming O-235-C1 and offers straightforward, enjoyable traditional flying. Built in 1975 as serial number 1092-75, it was originally registered in the United States as N8676V. Those marks have been reserved and can return to the aircraft for a new owner if required. 

The aircraft is attractively presented in its traditional blue and white colour scheme with matching removable wheel spats. The analogue cockpit is equipped with a Trig TY-96 8.33 kHz VHF COM, Garmin GPS III Pilot, intercom, headset connections, magnetic compass, accelerometer/G-meter, two-minute turn indicator and conventional flight and engine instrumentation. Original aircraft documentation is retained, including logbooks going back to birth and the original FAA Standard Airworthiness Certificate. 

The airframe has 2,758 hours total time, with the Annual Inspection due on 21 October 2026. The Lycoming O-235-C1 engine has 92 hours SMOH by Multiflight, while the McCauley propeller has 92 hours since new. 

The interior features cream vinyl tandem seating with dark piping, a traditional wood-effect instrument panel and matching door trim. A large right-side cabin door provides easy access, while the generous glazing gives excellent visibility and a notably roomy cabin for this class of aircraft. 

Exterior presentation is honest and attractive, retaining the traditional blue and white OEM-style scheme, Bellanca Citabria cowling titles and matching removable wheel spats. The aircraft shows normal age-related cosmetic wear consistent with its age. Additional equipment includes dual controls, electric starter, cabin heat, parking brake, fire extinguisher, landing light, navigation lights and anti-collision beacon. 

Full technical specification, and video viewings available to seriously interested parties.
