Hi all,
Time to face facts that I'm never actually gonna get round to doing this project, too many other things to do!
142k miles, i've done about 5 of those in my ownership! Last on the road in 2014, I've owned the car since 2015.
As with most of these, rust is the main issue and why it's been off the road for a while, I bought the car to learn how to weld, that hasn't happened and now I have other projects I'd rather be doing.
The good:
The bad:
FYI everything missing off the car, wing badges, indicators, centre caps, bits of trim etc will all come with the car, was taken off when I was doing stuff on it. Photos show it with the Weber carb listed below, the standard Hitachi carb and air filter setup will be included if you don't want this. Comes with the standard steel wheels for the asking money, other wheels available for extra listed below.
Link to the build thread I had on here for the car: forum.retro-rides.org/thread/183439?page=1
Few spares that will be included with the car:
I also have several spares available for some extra money:
So, £1200ono for the standard car, located near Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Any questions please ask away, can grab more photos if required.

The good:
- Straight and tidy externally for one of these, not perfect, but far better than most of the beaten up farm trucks you'll see.
- Drivetrain is generally pretty good, engine runs sweet, had a major service when I first got it.
- New GRP front wings and front valance worth £500.
- Bed floor is very straight and only a couple of pin holes near the front edge, has had a liner on it all its life.
- Good sills
- Nearly new full Bosal exhaust
The bad:
- Needs a radiator, currently has an mx5 radiator bodged in so I could run it, could be made to fit properly quite easily, super similar size to the original, inlet and outlet in very similar locations, far easily and cheaper to replace than the original.
- Front valance section/ rad mount needs welding, original rad support was completely knackered.
- The usual rust on the rear chassis rails/inner arches,fuel filler that these have, needs quite a bit of structural welding here.
- Fuel tank has a small hole near the fill hose, easy repair.
- Usual drivers seat damage, like they all have.
- Welding required at the base of both the A pillars
- Front driveshaft clicks
