Car location: United Kingdom

Seller's notes: Beautiful little car which was restored in the early 1990s. Not perfect, but honest patinated condition which could be lifted to A1 condition with a little TLC here and there. Very little rust that I can ascertain. Only one spot on a wheelarch bubbling through which I have photographed. Sills were all replaced on the restoration. Underside could use a steam clean and re-waxing to keep it up, but it is sound from what I can see.Dash is not too bad at all but is lifting in places. Door cappings slightly cracked in the front. Mint in the rear, as are the picnic tables.Carpet is very good. Seats are very good.Starts on the button and goes very well. She doesn't use any oil or water. Mileage is around 82,000 and is substantiated in paperwork. Clock doesn't work; I have not investigated.My own car, purchased after we fell in love with one we restored for a customer. I have a long term restoration completing and the funds are required elsewhere. Will have a fresh MOT as just expired.

Beautiful little car which was restored in the early 1990 s.

82. 00 miles. supported by paperwork.

Not perfect. but honest patinated condition which could be lifted to A 1 condition with a little TLC here and there. Very little rust that I can ascertain. Only one spot on a wheelarch bubbling through which I have photographed. Sills were all replaced on the restoration. Underside could use a steam clean and re-waxing to keep it up. but it is sound from what I can see.

Dash is not too bad at all but veneer is lifting in places. Door cappings slightly cracked in the front. Mint in the rear. as are the picnic tables.
Carpet is very good. Seats are very good.
Starts on the button and goes very well with a magic carpet ride and great handling. The twin SU 1275 CC engine is willing and a hoot to drive. She doesn't use any oil or water. Mileage is around 82. 00 and is substantiated in paperwork. Clock doesn't work I have not investigated.
My own car. purchased after we fell in love with one we restored for a customer. I have a long term restoration completing and the funds are required elsewhere.

This is a private sale but the car will have a fresh MOT as just expired.

Viewing essential. Can arrange covered trailer delivery.
These are fantastic. rare. appreciating little cars which were years ahead of their time. More smiles per mile guaranteed than other similarly priced cars of of this era!
Very realistically priced for a quick sale as funds needed elsewhere.
NB. the car is NOT automatic. but is the much rarer manual version. It was built in 1972 but not sold until 1973. by which time the model had been discontinued. I was told that the original dealer converted it to manual for the purchaser. This was obviously professionally done and there is nothing on the car to indicate that it was ever automatic. Car comes with a lot of paperwork. inc heritage certificate. and original manual. It has been a very cherished vehicle.
