"The current owner acquired the car in 2019 as a project that required some work to get it roadworthy. After completing the necessary repairs, it successfully passed its final inspection and is now permanently inspection-exempt. During the test drive, the car initially sounded a bit rough, but this has been addressed with new spark plugs and carburetor adjustments. The car does not have overdrive, and the reverse gear requires holding it in position while reversing."

Description

This car was imported from Minnesota and pre-registered in 2017. The current owner purchased it in 2018 and added it to his collection of English cars. It required rust repairs, interior updates, chrome trim, roof replacement, and an engine review. While it may never be a show car, it has been repaired and repainted to a usable standard. The interior has been updated with leather seats, new chrome trim, and a older roof. It's a car to enjoy as a simple summer driver, and with affordable parts readily available, you can enhance its appearance over time. The car shows a mileage of 99,004 miles, which has likely gone around the clock once. There is no documentation available to verify the history.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine is now running properly after new spark plugs and carburetor adjustments. The car has been reviewed, and worn parts have been replaced, receiving its final inspection. Please note, there is no overdrive, and the gearbox needs to be held in reverse when shifting. The wire wheels could benefit from repainting, and the car is equipped with good older tires.

  • Interior condition:

    interior is in a ok usable condition, with the older leather seats showing some discoloration and wear. The passenger door panel has some small damage, and the dashboard is in working condition, although the radio is missing. The gauges are older but functional, and the carpet is in generally good condition, though the fitment is rough. The soft top roof is complete, but it may need some heating and stretching for a proper fit. It also has some small repairs around the side windows. The car comes with a tonneau cover that has some paint overspray.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has some dents around the bonnet, door sills, and exhaust panel, with signs of body filler in certain areas (see pictures). The underbody shows evidence of previous welding and repair work. The repaint is of average quality, with some defects and paint chips. The chrome work is generally in okay condition but shows some oxidation in places.

  • General condition:

    It's not a show car, but it has been repaired to a standard that makes it usable and has recently passed its final inspection. If you're looking for an easy and affordable classic summer car, this will do the job. You can always make improvements over time to enhance its condition.

Auction information

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
