Beschreibung
Sehr präsentables und gut aussehendes Auto von innen nach außen, das ständig bewundernde Blicke auf sich zieht, wenn es unterwegs ist.
Although not a concours car it runs well and is, as described in some publications, "pedestrian but dependable".
Ich habe dieses Auto ca. 35 Jahre lang besessen, obwohl darüber hinaus keine Historie bekannt ist.
Der Innenraum wurde neu bezogen (obwohl es Unterschiede zur Standardausführung bei den hinteren Armlehnen gibt), und das Dach wurde erneuert.
The engine that came with it was a marine type, and I replaced it with an age related correct example.
Recent work has included; retensioning the front springs, reboring the cylinders and fitting new pistons (still needs running in) and replacing the Lucas mag with a Simms commercial type - more reliable spark in all conditions, and a light overhaul of the dynamotor.
Öldruck ist ausgezeichnet, die Ladeanlage funktioniert gut, und das Kühlsystem ist dicht.
The original lucas electric windscreen wiper also operates.
This car has a nickel radiator, and nickel fittings which look so much softer in effect than chrome, also a functioning Lucas vacuum headlamp dipping mechanism.
There is some minor work to be done on paintwork here and there - in particular the lower corner of the drivers door, where some blistering has appeared, and the side valance forward of the same door, where some product has marked the paint at some point.
The rear luggage rack and box are a non standard creation, but enable the carrying of spare water, fuel, jack and tools, picnic basket etc.
There are a few small spares to go with the car - including a spare Simms type magneto which will need attention before it is serviceable. DS9222 has happily carried me all over the UK in the past, and has been used for a few weddings, but has done little work in the last 25 years, save for the occasional show.
I now have other interests and would like it to go to someone who will use it and enjoy it. Will consider offers.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and provide extra photos if needed.
