Description
The car had the full Sandy treatment late last year and is ready to go to a new owner. It is on about 91, 000 miles on and the registration is ST53 JJO for checking MOT history (now a clean MOT and due in December). (It is still in regular use so mileage will go a little with time).
This means it has had a full strip down and engine out to powder coat, under seal and renew everything— suspension is completely renewed. The bill was around £6500– if Sandy said it needed done, it got done. Its always been garaged in the time I have had it and ultra reliable— the trip up to Sandy was a good thousand mile cruise around the Highlands.
If you aren't familiar with Sandy, he is the Avantime god who does these restorations regularly and to an amazing standard and is well known on avantime-owners. com/ forum. As a result the car is basically mechanically "as new".
For full details of the recent work performed, please see the big bill in the pictures!
It is standard apart from the addition of a Pure Highway 600 DAB and Bluetooth adapter which transmits nicely to the built on radio. Also, the original exhausts aren't available so this one has a stainless one installed by a previous owner which is muscular but not obtrusive or loud-- just right I'd say.
There are only a few defects which I haven’t gotten around to before selling it:
-- Chip out of the bonnet where something fell from the garage rafters when I first put it in there when I bought it. A few millimetres.
-- Driver’s electric window sometimes doesn’t like to come automatically up from the fully down position. Flicking the switch 2-3 times gets past this, the. It goes up automatically. I’m told there may be a plastic piece that needs replaced.
-- Driver’s seat heating doesn’t work.
