Description
This is a 1961 Mk1 with an upgraded 1098 engine, good oil pressure, all gears work fine with no noises.
He is an older restoration, all steel. Bodywork and paintwork is very presentable however there are some small areas that will need to be addressed in the future. Huge history file.
All the weather gear is present as can be seen in the pictures. Folding top, side screens and tonneau.
Still has drum brakes all round but benefits from a new remote servo.
Recent new cast iron manifold and stainless steel exhaust.
Electronic ignition module fitted in distributor and is a reliable starter.
Please note that this car has a common modification to the cockpit, the cockpit has been extended at the back to give easier access into the boot space. This doesn't affect the use of the hood and weather gear. This car was originally first registered in 1961 as 3700HA, history files show original documents.
1098 engine was fitted in 2011.
New clutch and release bearing fitted in 2022, 55, 000 miles.
The 1098 engine is more than enough power for this little frog and it runs lovely.
