Vehicle Detail
Here's a really nice 52 TD for your consideration. It is in unadulterated condition except an ameteuerish paint job years ago. It has never been restored or dissassembled. The motor was rebuilt at some point as it is standard bore and has visible cross hatch honong marks on the cylinders. I rebuilt the head as it smokes a bit when cold and then stops smoking. It still does that . Everything works except the clock and I've heard it's a waste of money to fix one as they only work for a couple of months anyway. I have been driving this regularly and it is a blast . It still has the green leather seat covers under the vinyl replacemants and was originally white in color still showing under dash etc. The bumpers are OE and most chrome is very good as is. The steering wheel is like new.It could probably use tie rod ends sometime soon. This car has had only 5 owners from new all listed in the original owners manual. The gentelman I purchased this from owned it for 35 years. It has to be one of the best canditdates availiable for a restoration or even better drive it as is ? There is no rust or evidence of an accident . I would consider vintage British or american Motorcycle for trade pre 1970 especially 38 through 55 Triumph 5T or 6T
