More recently in the last few months she has had the following work to prepare her for sale: Chemical de-coke. Fuel system clean. Engine flush. Crankshaft oil seal. Degrease all brakes and new front pads. Engine tune. Points set. Full service including oils. There is an invoice to support this at just under £800. She is presented with an MOT expiring late August 2017. Walking round this you have to remind youself that it's 38yrs old such is the lovely condition. The paintwork has been done to a high standard and the body is pretty much unmarked. The nice paint finish extends inside the cabin, inside the doors, boot, under bonnet etc., a proper job and it looks great. The cabin is a joy with very little if any wear to the chairs or dashboard, only patina. A look underneath shows it to be highly original and condition that would rival some much younger examples. It it totally rot free and has been undersealed in it's entirety. Correct original features including number plate surround, steering wheel, instrument binnacle and the headlining is in new condition, the ‘upgrade option when new’ vinyl interior is all in lovely order and she sits on correctly rated new Michelin tyres. A usable classic with correct engine and gearbox that is ready to be enjoyed without the premium of early suffix examples. £19,995 |
