Selling on behalf of a friend. I've known this car for around 10 years now and have done several bits and pieces to keep it on the road. Due to lack of use and the work required to get another MOT, the owner has decided to part with it. Mechanically it is very good and having driven it today, it goes very well. As with many old cars however, the bodywork is not in the peak of youth!
Overall the car is clean, straight and presentable (in my opinion). All hand books etc are present plus I'm told MOT's etc. I've not had them presented to me yet though, hence slight vagueness about the year.
The bad points then - rust. O/S sill is rotten and repairs will be required to edge of the floor, inner sill and the outer. O/S/F wing is also rotten and I've filled it roughly to make more presentable. Bonnet rusty. Rust around battery area. Few scabs around the body and the odd mismatched touch up. Tyres showing their age.
On the plus side. Strong engine, gearbox and clutch. Pulls well. Brakes feel fine. It's apparently had a new carburettor since the current owner has had it. Clean interior. I rebuilt the front valance 5 or 6 years ago and this still looks okay. A couple of weekends would see it back on the road.
The rust...
Collection from Peterborough area, evening or weekend. Apologies for the effort with the photos. It was getting a bit dark!
