Description
1971 Austin 3 Litre in Carlton grey. Current mileage 74, 733.
Invoices going back to 2013. I’ve had the car since 12th April 2017. In that time thousands of Pounds have been spent on the car. All invoices on file in date order. Work has included:
• Significant mechanical work by the main authority on these cars;
• New twin-barrel SU fuel pump (originally fitted with a less-than-helpful single-barrel pump);
• New radius arm bushes;
• In September 2020 car welded, new outer sills, restored front wings, car re-sprayed, new hand-painted coachline;
• Back from welding and painting, car thoroughly injected in sills, under bonnet, under wings and wheel arches with many cans of Bilt Hamber Dynax S-50 rust-proofing;
• New headlining in 2021, along with new front door cards, front seat cushions re-made with the proper Dunlopillo support;
• Brand new bespoke lambswool overrugs in summer 2021 – never used;
• Carbs taken apart, cleaned, reassembled;
• New Pertronix ignition unit fitted.
In addition, I detailed the engine over a period of four months.
Always garaged with two dehumidifiers, never once taken out in the rain. Engine and axle oil religiously changed every few thousand miles. This was fitted from new or near-new with Vanden Plas Daimler rear map lights.

£11, 500.
