This car has Heritage Trust documentation



 This is a matching numbers car with enough going for it to make an easy restoration project. Some work has been done to it to make it drive a very short distance. Fuel tank was removed and cleaned. New fuel line and rebuilt fuel pump installed. The carburetors had a rebuild kit in them but mo major work done to them otherwise. The ASC solenoid needs to be replaced. The shims were fitted to the right clearance for the valves and the engine runs. All hoses were replaced. The thermostat housing has been replaced and the original water pump has been rebuilt and installed. The radiator has been re-cored by Maine Radiator in Maine, USA. The battery boxes were fairly rusty. They were cleaned up and painted black and any holes have been sealed with Flex seal. The outside of the battery boxes also rusted and a wire brush was used to remove surface rust the coated with KBS coating to prevent further rusting. There was no battery box lid or storage shelf although I did make a wooden one which can be included. There is no remnant of the original carpet. The head liner is Fawn and is original. The Seats I make the assumption are original Fawn color but have been dyed black to match the exterior. This car comes with a Heritage Trust Certificate. This car is left hand drive, has a manual transmission. The spinners are original. The spines are in great condition. There has been no brake work done other than making sure the lines were open. New brake fluid in the lines. The oil in the engine is 30 weights with the intention to do an engine flush yet not accomplished. The coolant is Zerex original green with a 50-50 mix with distilled water. There is a radiator sock installed in the upper radiator hose to catch debris from the engine from entering the radiator. The wheels are 54 spoke wire wheels therefore there is no rear wheel skirting with the car. There is an original spare tire imprinted with Made in England on it. This car will need new rubber to be a driver.
