Hi all! Been a bit quiet on here recently, mainly due to ** enter several rubbish excuses here** and that's been taking up all my spare time!
Anyways, I came across this (after being locked away in a garage for 31 years) on Facebook recently. Deposit placed, collection Friday.
Unfortunately the wheels aren't included BUT I do have a fantastic set of 1972 slot mags to go straight on
Green leather interior, all is in great nic except the drivers seat has failed thread but that's all. Headlining is perfect too which is a massive bonus!
It's a 1966 4 speed manual 1200cc Deluxe model. 4 owners from new (mileage I forgot)
From the top you'd think the car's MOT'd! Underneath it's a bit of a mess but nothing a decent fabricator couldn't rectify in a days work.
Poor thing was parked up, owner fell ill and there she stayed! Rescued by the neighbour and sold to me! Currently a non-runner but only because I haven't had a chance to fiddle with it.
Really not sure what to do with this one... I'd love to see it live on as it's complete (except the complete heating system?) but at the same time I feel a "quick quid" could be earned from getting it running and chucking it on eBay... I definitely jumped in head first on this one, with my VX490, Viva HC, Herald Estate and MKII Zodiac already in my posession, taking on another classic probably wasn't the best idea!
More pics coming shortly
