Tax:Free
MOT:June 30th 2017
Location:Banbury Oxfordshire
Price £1800 ono

Reluctant sale but I have no choice but to sell since my daily driver has broken down and I have storage issues now as well to add to frustration.Its a bit of a rat look and could do with a restoration but the added bonus of MOT till next June makes it a rolling restoration.If you need more pics I can use whattsapp to send them over to you as Im not always near a Computer due to the nature of my work and my phone is terrible for linking to emails etc.
These are getting rare now and ive enjoyed driving it lots!!!.Its old school driving though!!!.it does have a brakes servo but its not fitted and a friend has rethreaded the connections,just needs fitting.It works fine on the originals but could do with a bleeding of the system.Ive recently used this car for last week as my daily driver to and from work a distance of 38 miles round trip.she pulls well the engine was rebuilt some time ago I think 30,000 miles ago but I have lots of history including old MOT sheets etc and receipts for just about everything done!.Again any questions feel free to ask :).Im not here to hide or misguide anyone and will be honest about everything.The panels and roof are lovely and straight there is some surface rust here and there and its a horrible paint job in Matt black but some like the patina!!.it has Epoxy resin with iron filings made to look like rust!! why the hell !!!?.I didnt do this I bought it with intention to restore but now have no storage space and need to find a modern daily driver.A chance to buy a rare car.My mobile number is 07476202921 ask for John,many thanks
