DESCRIPTION

For a car of this age it is in incredible condition, the paintwork is faultless and polishes up very well, all the brightwork including front and rear bumpers are in good condition but could benefit from a little TLC due to a very small amount of pitting, in terms of rust again there isnt any visible rust on the bodywork, and is completely solid underneath, mechanically everything is in full working order and starts first time everytime, interior is in immaculate condition and benefits from two near new Cobra Monaco S bucket seats, overall the car is in very good condition.

GOOD POINTS

The car has benefitted from a couple of panel changes in order to make it pristine, its had new front left outer wing, new leftside A-panel, and a full new front panel, during which i decided to fit a brand new 11 slat grille, all panels were fitted and sprayed professionally with receipts to prove.

As mentioned the RED paintwork is in really good condition, and has been polished regularly. Minilite alloywheels are in good condition too and have plenty of life left in the tyres.

For a car of this age the bodywork itself is very tidy, no visible rust, and no dents worth mentioning.

BAD POINTS

I'll be completely honest here and say in terms of the bodywork there is hardly any rust, the only things that are genuinley wrong with it are a snapped choke cable which still works fully but could benefit from a replacement, a small dent in the bonnet and a slight scrubbing noise coming from the left front wheel on full lock, this is due to the wheels which could do with being tracked just to straighten them out a bit.

OVERVIEW

The car is located in Camblesforth near York and is available to view most days providing appointment is made first, as my work patterns vary week to week.

The price I'm looking for is £1800 however i am open to sensible offers, I've taken into account the minor things that are wrong with it and the overall condition, unfortunatley I'm not looking for a part exchange as i need the money for a new project.
