I ve owned this vehicle for a few years now and have made some improvements to it. Although it was very sound when I bought it as a recent California import, it was in need of tyres, brakes, front suspension and interior. As time allowed, all these things have been accomplished but again, time didn t allow me to use it much. <br />
<br />
The interior has been completely refurbished with new seat covers, moulded carpet and paint. <br />
The tyres were brand new from Northants Tyres and have done approximately 250 miles on the car. <br />
The brakes were all stripped and treated to new shoes and cylinders just after I bought it. <br />
The front suspension has new bushes and joints, etc, fitted where necessary.<br />
I bought the car as an older restoration and although not perfect cosmetically, it is still in very good order. Mechanically it is hard to fault. She is fitted with a 283 V8 and 3 speed auto. The drive train is silent and works perfectly. <br />
<br />
I have absolutely no doubt that this car will get you and your family to all the shows you wish to attend in comfort and reliability.<br />
The car was issued with a new MoT early last year. The only failure point was the windscreen washers. It was never fitted with them from new!! I have fitted a period glass washer bottle but plastic jets which are easily removed without damage to the vehicle. I will re-MoT her for the new purchaser.<br />
There are very few bad points:<br />
The fuel gauge has stopped working.<br />
The tank and sender had already been replaced and are fine, so I can only assume it is the gauge which is at fault. They are available from ebay, etc.<br />
The left-hand exhaust box has started to blow. The right-hand one is solid. I can get this done for the new MoT.<br />
The indicator stalk does not self-cancel. This has always been like this, and it is one of the things I never got around to doing! Again, kits are available to repair it.<br />
<br />
I am extremely reluctant to sell this car as it is such a good looking cruiser and performs so well. However as the conservatory and decking at the back of the house is falling apart, needs must. Also, I do not have the time to use the vehicle fully. She has been dry stored throughout my ownership so there is no rust.<br />
The photos do not do the car justice. She had not been washed before the photos were taken.<br />
Please don t hesitate to contact me with any questions.<br />
Cash on collection please. No bank drafts, no cheques, no PayPal. A non-refundable deposit of 500.00 to hold the car before full payment.<br />
