1968 Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible. Body off restoration. SOLD

First registered 29th july 1968. genuine factory made convertible with cv chassis number.
MOT history shows one entry only with an expiry date of 9th october 2019 so presumably laid up beforehand for several years.
MOT exempt and road tax exempt. Mileage cannot be verified.

Recently purchased and needing recommissioning after a two year lay up with the previous owner, close inspection underneath reveals that the car has had a body off restoration. The chassis members have been stripped back to bare metal and repainted. Other exposed metal has been repainted and rear wheel arches also undersealed.
There is a complete absence of any significant rust in the body, chassis and doors.
Regarding the mechanical items, the rear drums, brake linings and cylinders are all new as are the front calipers, brake discs and pads. The flexible hoses and brake lines are also replacements, so too is the fuel line.
Engine oil and filter have been changed by me together with the brake and clutch fluids. Noisy bearings in the alternator necessitated a replacement unit
The engine starts easily and pulls well with no extraneous noises or smoking. The clutch performs well with the correct biting point. The gears are smooth to change given that there was never syncromesh on first and second gear syncromesh is weak. (a common feature on these boxes)
There are inertia reel seat belts in the front.
Tyres, including the spare, are all the same make with plenty of tread.
The hood appears to be relatively new with clear plastic rear and side panels and is easy to put up and down.
There are tonneau covers and a hood cover.
On the minus side, the driver's seat needs a little stitching on the seat and the top of the passenger back rest has a small tear. The carpets need to be better fitted but i have left them to make it easy to look at the floors.
Inspection is available most days and email contact is preferred to arrange a convenient day and time.
An ideal starter Classic being easy to work on and maintain with Comprehensive insurance at around £100 including breakdown.. She is on the road and ready to be enjoyed!
