The vendor has provided the following:
- I bought it in 2005 (I think as an executor’s sale)
- It had been stored under a tree for 15 years, I am the third owner, and knew it in Hemel Hempstead, when it was new
- There is no documentation for it, except one MoT from before it was stored
- I have extensive documentation for it under my ownership
- MOT from early 1990s lends support for its present mileage - 70,000
- Weber carb (which I suspect is not original)
- Free-wheel front hubs
- Tow bar. (I recall it being used to haul a small caravan to Norfolk for German Shepherd events, before my time)
- It leaks oil, but they all do
- Needs priming at fuel-pump if left standing for a while, otherwise starts first touch
- Hasn’t had the head modified for unleaded. I use Frosts additive
- I fitted new door tops, new petrol tank, new radiator and new (recon) starter motor
- Distributor has been rebuilt
- Rebuilt carburetor (which is probably not original)
