Re: 2 week restoration finished

Got a great set of Sprint wheels, finishes off the car.

Been driving it daily as the LSD is great in ice and snow. Car has never missed a beat since buying it. Fuel consumption is very good also. Better than my old 1850.

Fitted a new interior mirror (from kitcar site, a little bit of filing, what ...

Re: I paid more than the car cost new




Have you seen what MikeyB is asking for his fully restored car on eBay?

I paid more than the car cost new

Just going through the file that came with the car found the original sales invoice, plus extra for safari roof (Webasto) and Cadulac rust proofing (garantees the car to be rust proof for life) and Power Lok differential.

£3259.97 for basic car from Henley's, plus sunroof, rust proofing and LSD ...

MYK21OP, runs and drives very well. The car has a lot of history with it. Mechanically very good.
