This is a beautiful little car, was owned for over 50 years by one family in Tamworth, passed down to the person I purchased from last month. Would have to be the easiest restoration in town, just needs some minor bits, new rubbers and some upholstery repairs.
The dash pad is shot and the exhaust manifold is cracked but otherwise straight as a die and no rust or repairs I can see except a little light surface rust from sitting. I think there is a really minor mark in one door you can see when the light is right and a bullseye stone chip in windscreen. Surface rust underneath is very light you could almost rub it off with your finger, would not take much to tidy up.
Missing rear view mirror and no horn. Last rego appears to be 2010.
1600 motor believed original, (still to confirm) runs really sweet, NO smoke at all, slight noise from manifold crack. Has original jack in foam mounting in boot, no rust in spare wheel well or any usual areas.
Rubber floor mats rough in front, boot mat pretty good, fuel tank near perfect, all chrome fresh and smooth and bright. Wheels need wire brushing, have been roughly painted.
Paint crazed here and there and has been touched up in 2 places with rattle can but not noticeable until you look closely. Not sure it is original paint but is very presentable as is.
All seems clean and dry underneath, spare wheel well near perfect, original tool and jack in foam tray, jack rough but restorable, struts etc all tight steering as normal for the age, brakes good, has good oil and coolant. Window rubbers a bit dry on sides but front and rear pretty good.
Car is garaged in Canberra and ready for viewing!
Very easy resto, or drive as is, once you fit a mirror!
Genuine shed find. Never advertised before to my knowledge, purchased from grandson of second owner, the grandfather purchased when it was about a year old!
Garaged and regularly maintained very well and it shows.On 23-May-20 at 10:28:32 AEST, seller added the following information:PS: I also have a maintenance book, in poor condition, but has engine number and some sales info plus service stamps for a few early services. The book is stamped at Tamworth, november 1968 which fits with the known provenance for car. (pics available, contact me)On 23-May-20 at 10:43:39 AEST, seller added the following information:.
***NOTE: Checked engine number, it does match stamping on body and on book!
Also, have been told that it has reinforced strut tops like is normally on Lotus and 1600E.On 24-May-20 at 10:06:04 AEST, seller added the following information:I didn't mention floor condition: there are rubber mats in poor shape, the undermat fibre is mostly gone, surface rust here and there with usual wear under driver's feet. No serious rot that I can see, a wire brush would take care of the surface of the floor. I removed some of the mat to reduce condensation as it was no good anyhow.
Car starts, stops and drives, needs jets cleaned, idles well, smooth idle, small amount of seepage around fuel pump but no drips and looks like it has never been cleaned. Has been well maintained around steering, brakes and suspension, appears to have done very few miles since last reg 2010. Clutch is good, brakes pull a bit but feel okay, disk pads are very good, quite new.
