For sale is my original W111 restoration project. It’s a 1965 saloon, and has carbs not fuel injection. It needs plenty of work but is a great candidate for restoration. I’m only selling as I had the opportunity to buy another car needing less work (but for a more money!!).
Body
The front of the car is pretty good - the cross member is good, the bonnet is rot free (not the one in the photo) and I have a pair of good used wings - one beige one in the photos and another used wing to replace the passenger side as the original is shot. The rear of the car is in very good condition. Boot lid and rear arches etc are good - minor repairs and you’d be ready for paint prep. The bit in the middle, as always, needs the most work. I’d bank on sills and floor repairs at least, and all four door bottoms are rotten.
However, I do have a full set of aftermarket (and extremely well made) inner and outer sills, and also a set of really excellent repair sections for all of the doors, both for the inner frame and the outer skin. So bsically an unfitted solution for most of the rot on the car
Interior
The car has white/cream leather, but really the interior wants a complete overhaul. The timber trims from around the side windows are missing, but it seems otherwise fairly complete. It has a white steering wheel - some people prefer these.
Brightwork
All there, mainly poor. I have a decent grille and usable head and tail lamps, but the aluminium window trims will all need refinished. The sill trims and fin trims are missing. The bumpers are grim - I had intended to fit a set of stainless ones, having had good experiences with a set on my Amazon.
Mechanical
Seems complete, it turns over freely. I haven’t investigated any further but assume a complete rebuild. Mileage may be around 60000, but I have no proof to back this up.
Including the repair panels, I’m looking for £3500 or near offer. The car is in Dumfries, south west Scotland just 30 miles from Carlisle. I would expect serious buyers to want to view - please call me on 07717163232 to arrange a viewing or with any questions.
