	SOLD A LONG TIME AGO... The car is incredible, everything is exactly where it should be, all period/original parts still fitted and undamaged.

IMG_9971 by robjobuk2, on Flickr And one last picture of this timeless, extremely photogenic ass IMG_9930 by robjobuk2, on Flickr UPDATE : 13/07/2015 The car has had new fuel lines, pickup, a service and runs like a champ. Starts on the button and is INCREDIBLY lively and fun to drive. We started cleaning it up and while yes, it could do with some more cleaning, the dust under the bonnet does clean up if you have the patience to t-cut. Again it would take VERY little to get back on the road, the original patina just adds to how timewarp this is and would be a sin to repaint it (keep rust at bay and retain the patina with ankor wax). Cosmetically, other than the usual cleaning and detailing under the bonnet, all this needs is some lows and some better suited registration plates. I'd even retain the original wheels and tyres as they just 'fit' and look right. Thanks for looking, feel free to ask any questions here or through PM.

	Nice car, yours is the later model. The back strangely reminds me of an sd1 with your lights What model is it if you don't mind me asking?

	I bought it off here October 13 with a smokey engine, sorted that and put it straight in for an MOT, it flew thru :)been on the road ever since it's awesome. Thing is it's running a 4 speed box now, and feel it would benefit from an extra gear,wonder why somebody changed it ?

	Well whoever is luckily to buy this will be enjoying 5 gears, 2000cc's and RWD retro skids, GT spec style! The dashboard is like a cockpit with gauges for everything.

It was a 4-speed then, i think the 1600 single carb models were a 4-speed and the 2.0 models a 5-speed.

Just surface rust spots where the paint has thinned in places as you can see.
