CRACKING “LOVE” NUMBER PLATE

RESTRORED IN 1994 WITH 6 PAGE ITEMISED INVOICE FOR OVER £8000 WITH 370 HOURS LABOUR

Just recovered from the bereavement estate of its 14 year owner and exactly as we found it. covered in dust snugged up in its lovely dry garage. Brought it back to the works. put some petrol in the tank. connected a jump pack and the car started instantly. 76000 recorded miles. Last tax disc in the screen is from 2007. when. we were told. the car was used at the owners sister's wedding. the white ribbons are still in the back. Then parked up and never used since due to health reasons.

A little re-commissioning works will be needed. a good service and the brakes require sorting. handbrake works. as do the trafficators. wipers and some of the lights. Starts readily and runs very smoothly. clutch is fine and it selects gear no problem. All the tyres are good and have remained inflated.

The ash frame appears very solid. no softness under the roof at any point. all four doors are opening and closing easily with good panel gaps. no sagging or wagging of the doors. please watch the video for a demonstration. All though covered in dust as we found it. the paintwork appears quite good. some small areas at the bottoms of the doors need work. but basically all looking well.

The interior is in very good order throughout and requiring clean up and little else. excellent seats. carpets and headlining.

The transferable and very valuable registration on the car “LVE 86” is included in the sale and would help to make this a really great wedding car.

The car comes with a user manual. a workshop manual. modern V5c an old MOT from 2007 and the six page itemized invoice for the 370 man hours of work carried out in 1994. with items listed such as “ Set of Wilton carpets hand cut and edged”. new radiator cores and fins. new cills. new headlining. new rear window. the list goes on and on.

Its not a drive away car. the radiator has been drained so needs coolant. no fan belt. battery is useless. the brakes are not working and it will need a full general check prior to road use. but it is now tax and MOT exempt. so once road worthy. sort your insurance. collect your free tax disc and your on the road with no formal inspection required.

Viewing essential. there will be bits we've missed and as this is a project car the buyer really needs to see what they are spending their money on. please make sure you see the video link above for lots of moving and still images of the car. Will be a really nice car again. without too much effort required.
