OK, so I'm the third owner, a lady in central london had it from new, when she died it went to a family friend who used it as a second car, who in turn sold it to me in April 2014, when I bought it it had 47,000 miles on it. I have been using it as my daily since then.
I changed the carb to a Weber with a manual choke in May 2014, replaced the carb flange, new dizzy cap, leads, rotor arm, master cylinder, brake fluid and air filter too. Oil + filter change took place about 3 months ago, front brake pads were changed around the same time, as well as 2 new repro bumpers. 2 budget front tyres were put on about 8 weeks ago.
Bad bits:
The saggy headlining has been removed.
I hit another car today when she pulled out on me, cracked the bumper, dented the passenger side wing.
The passenger side wing mirror was pulled off by some inbred scrote.
Cosmetically, there are various dents, one on the rear, covered by a German crest sticker. the car looks ok from a distance but closer inspection reveals some scratches.
The heater fan is knackered, it was noisy, now only works on high, still warms the car up nicely.
The drivers side wing has been replaced in the past for a pattern part, which has rusted through and the paint flaking off.
Passenger side rear window doesn't open.
Engine bay is a bit oily.
I sold the original Blaupunkt radio (something I now regret).
Good bits:
erm.
It's only done 59,000 miles
It's an automatic
Aside from the drivers wing, no rust!
It's got a Weber carb.
Power steering.
I'm sure there's more I can't remember.
