Got it trailered back today, it's fantastic! It's a one owner 1500 FWD, pre-dolomite - it's a 1971, so tax exempt! Fantastic nick, interior is mint, it's really a very nice car. At the moment it's lowered excessively but I've got a set of taller springs and will be replacing the dubious backbox on the rear. Sprint wheels too .... Other than that, it's great! Got every MOT from new and only done 44,000 miles. Real rare beastie!
Haven't driven it much - needs a quick service, raising, speedo cable then I'm set to go! (got height? got camber?) I love it to bits! Original stickers and tax disk holders too! At best estimate, there's 10, maybe 20 left on the road. You'll never see another one!
That really is in unbelievably good nick for a 35 year old car! That looks really nice - it's only averaged about 1,250 miles per year too! Has it been garaged as part of a collectors collection? Just can't get over the condition!
Gotta admit that when i first saw the pics i thought "thats ******* horible but ive been looking at them for about 5 min now and really quite like it... Is that body work all original ?? No swearing. Read the FAQs
Yup! Few period bodges here and there, but nothing major. All original, even underneath! Ziebarted from new, so it hasn't suffered
Cost me 600 nicker Not damn bad at all, worth about 1k but owner wanted easy, friendly home for her Yup! Snorting, torquesteering beastie
How is the universal joint on such a early FWD car? I think my uncle had one of them, beautiful car and only £600! Nice find.
Jesus christ, that's immaculate! Very well done on finding yet another bargain Do you keep your cars garaged?
Only the project car (cause it's on axle stands, got no choice ). Rest are out in the open and used all the time! It'll be well cared for though - paintchips touched up as soon as, waxoyl topped up etc
Early? FWD has been around since the 1900s and has been mass-produced since the 1920s. Is the engine longitudinal, dude? *n
£600? Bloody hell, I was thinking that would cost at least a couple grand it being a classic and all.
It is indeed longitudinal, with the gearbox underneath and slightly set back. Yea, like I said it's worth a little more, but we were no hassle and good home Plus, it has no test, knocks a bit off it, but soon sorted come this week!
