Vehicle Detail
Cute, rare, british roadster. It's a real head turner and if you don't want attention this isn't the car for you. Was my daily driver until the transmission started getting hard to shift. I removed the transmission to find two synchros were out of it. The parts are about $65 to repair it (from Victoria British). Just haven't gotten around to putting them in and have decided I'd rather sell for a hot rod project that my whole family can enjoy. Good:Floor pans have been replacedRear deck area and trunk are SOLIDMinimal rustEngine runs excellent! Only 47,000 ORIGINAL milesDoesn't burn oilLittle leaks (typical british car amount!) Would be an EXCELLENT restoration or father/son project. Bad:The body isn't perfect, it has had body work done in the past, not the best paint job. (see pics) Transmission will need the synchros put in.No carpetI have a top for it, but it's not good.Passenger side window is broken. My three year old broke the tail light lens. I love this car and appreciate it's rarity. I would really like it to go to someone who not only appreciates it the way that I do (or more!) but has the time to give it the attention it deserves. The title is clear and in my name. Back then import cars were titled in the year they were sold and not the year they were built, so the title says it's a 64, but com # shows it's a 63.
