I put this into my garage in Nov 2022 and have pulled it out this week Oct 2023
. It started first time all be it with a good blast of easy start, but after a few minutes running warmed up and drove well its just a mile to my workplace,.
.
you will note in photos coatings of wax on chrome trims/ rubber seals etc.. this was put on last year to protect it all whilst in storage. I had to remove the front and rear bumpers so it would fit into my garage they are both in superb order and I will be refitting them this week.
the underside is as good and clean as you will find from any car thats been in a private museum for many years.
The brakes are very poor but do work however, I put the car away as I was waiting for DVLA the process took 7. long months !!!, and have now lost interest in it .
.
So the brakes need a though overhall and recommend it be trailered away should you buy its starts and drives so easy to load.
.
The front steering ram seals need replacing as perished/ leaking and the carbs probably need a good overhall
.
The bodywork is superb excluding one small blemish above osf headlamp I suspect it was knocked when imported to the uk, all panels straight as to be expected from a museum piece.
Some minor exterior trim pieces are missing but I have them all
the steering wheel plastic cowling is missing and needs to be sourced.
.
apart from that its a stunning car
and the price is firm
In the last 2 months I have seen 2 sell at auction pushing 80, 000 miles for 9k and 13. 5k respectively
I feel that spending 300 to 500 on this will give you a fantastic useable turn key classic
