MOT and Road Tax exempt but I have had the car tested. Passed with minor advisories, expires March 2025. Old MOT’s from July 1980.
Originally dark blue the car was resprayed black in 1987. In 2008 the car was overhauled with complete new interior including headlining and carpets, chrome work re plated and some paint work. Brakes over hauled with replacement master brake cylinder and servo. Front crank oil seal replaced July 2010.
Maintained as required. New battery and plugs. Twin Kenlowe fans with override switch. New header tank and hoses 2017 (approx. 2, 500 miles ago). Approx 3, 700 miles ago new top ball joints, oil change, filter and oil pressure switch.
The car is tidy and usable and presents very well but is not concours. The paint work is not perfect. There are blemishes and some cracking/”bubbling” around the fuel filler. There is a small “ding” to the driver’s door. I have provided plenty of pictures, including underneath, to give a fair representation of the car’s condition. Happy to answer any questions. Full inspection welcome.
Always garaged in my ownership. In dry storage for the last 18 months. After 17 years of ownership I have decided to sell as the car is not being used and a house move/ loss of garage means I cannot give it the attention it deserves.
