Hi
I have finally been convinced to part ways with this lovely old car! I have owned this car just over a year and believe it or not I have been using this as my daily driver for the past 2 months and have had plenty of up keep done to it in the mean time.
*****The Good*****

New Anti Roll Bar Bushes

12v Car charger fitted and hidden in glove box
*****The Bad*****
The engine starts and pulls very well and i have used it to go work and back everyday for the last few months... however the engine in my opinion could do with what i suspect is Big end bearings because upon starting the engine you can hear a ticking from the bottom end which goes away 10 - 20 seconds later after this the engine sounds pretty sweet. This may just be an oil circulation problem however doing any small amounts of research on engines from this era tend to have big ends go quite often so after 50 years its probably well overdue. However i could be wrong feel free to come and have a look.
*****Other*****
The body work is very respectable considering its age. I could waffle on about all day but its better you come and look at the car because condition is down to each individual. However in my opinion it is very presentable and as you can imagine you do get noticed in such a car. every time i pull up at a petrol station someone wants a look at it and have a chat.
I have been as honest as i can about the car. and i have reflected the price to suit £1800
Give me a call for any more info and feel free to come have a look at it.
