1970 Bond Bug 700ES

1970 Bond Bug 700 es Listed on behalf of my father, please phone 01924 820029 if you want to come view it, any questions i'll do my best to pass on and reply I bought this bond bug a few years ago and have spent the last few summers and lockdown to make this into a nice one, when I bought it the car had been found in a council garage where it had stood since since the early 2000 s, the family had known their father owned Bond Bugs but hadn't realised he'd saved one until they went to empty the garage.Ive spent thousands on it since purchasing the bug, the interior has the original Bond seat covers but they've had new foam, new chrome fixings, its had the edges of the covers re-enforced as they like to rip and ive had the steering column and knee pad recovered in new vinyl aswell.Ive tried to make sure the car has all the original trim fitted as it would of had from new - you'll notice on alot of bugs now they have got new covers without Bond written on them and are missing the whole steering column cover, mud flaps front grill or have different wing mirrors and wheels fitted - this bug has them all and period correct. I even fitted the chrome trim on the canopy that is the same as a classic london taxi and is a real pain to fit.The chassis is all good and solid which is one of the reasons why I bought it and the king pin is nice and tight without any play.Other new, original or upgraded items are:New heater box with new matrix New distributor with electronic ignition and uprated coil Coil re-positioned as they get hot in the engine bay SU carb with brand new drip tray and overflow for better safety Original Bond rocker cover Uprated aluminium free flow radiator Reliant expansion tank for cooler running Carb pre heater set up for smoother running Titanium clutch release bearing and new clutch Ive included two photos showing the slide on side screens which it also has, these had new plastic heat sinked into the frames.The engine was upgraded by the last owner and its a 750 cc engine but it is a original Bond Bug 750 unit as it is stamped as such and isn't a Reliant Regal or Robin engine. Its a bit more powerful than the 700.It drives lovely and stops very well as I fitted new cylinders and shoes all round. Ive used it for local shows and you get so much attention just driving it down the road, im selling it now as im 69 and I struggle to get in and out of it.Its MOT and TAX exempt but I put a fresh mot on the car for my own peace of mind Ive fitted plenty more parts but its far too much to list such as tyres, exhaust and such, anyone is welcome to come and see the car and im open to reasonable offers, thanks for readingsold as seen
