5th owner - family owned (original owner 82 yrs old when she passed away - then went to son, then went to daughter and then a family friend 2 yrs ago.
I met him through an agency job, he's moving back to Argentina so sold the car to me. Made a nice change to see a saloon. 66k miles and full service history including original sale invoice, it was a demo car and they part ex'd it for their 1979 Rover 2.8. I say FSH but there is a book detailing EVERYTHING that the car has had. Written by the original owner between 1987-2003 going into so much detail as to mention which garage, which mechanic, what they did and even who gave them a lift to go collect it etc. I'm very impressed!!
Comes with usual early GLT spec, leccy front windows, heated seats, fogs, econometer, manual mirrors, rear windows and sunroof, no PAS.
both rear doors have bad dents and heavy scratches but i'm sure they could look alot less imposing with abit of a tap and some t-cut. Interior light has the black switch missing, drivers side seat tilt rotory handle has snapped but still turns. reverse light bulb needs replacing, front fog bulb, boot lock surround is abit loose but doesnt fall out, bubbling on rear wheel arches and needs a new air filter.
Besides that its lovely. Alot better than I thought it was going to be. If I get my way it should be lowered and I'm undecided about welding the diff, makes drifting alot easier but maybe it's cuz i'm new to it all. I say its a trampdrifter but its guna stay fully trimmed and left alone a fair amount. Partly cuz its a nice example but also because its just an inbetween car with some low key mods til I save up for the car I really want.
A good machine polish, wet wipes, spruce up the wheels and find an FM radio and I'll be happy! haha
Opinions?
