New car!! Been buying this one for a while now but the idea was to keep it in the guys lovely dry garage for as long as I could until he moved out, and yesterday was the day so now it's finally home and on the drive seeing daylight for the first time in quite a while. Needs a good clean, brakes servicing, clutch cylinder reattaching and she's good to go!
Fired up yesterday (35-40 revolutions with coil disconnected to prime the engine) and hey presto it started instantly as soon as I reconnected the coil! Runs like a dream, sounds quite pokey too which I'm pleased about.
Needs a bit of tidying up, bits of interior trim and some glass replacing but nothing a few minutes on the net can't solve.
One registered owner from new, on the original logbook with all stamps going back to day 1... Quite a special find if you ask me!
All electrics work which also includes electric wipers!
Just dug out of precious owners garage
Back home and my 2 year old son giving it the all clear for me
That's me down to 4 cars now which makes my driveway very bare to look at! Just sold my '78 VX490 and my '56 100e Prefect... Leaves me with the MKI Conny, MKII Conny 375 Deluxe and two Triumph Herald estates '67 12/50 and a '71 13/60
