A special thanks to all forum members too, your help has always been fantastic, above and beyond what I would have expected.

I’m in the market to buy.....

When you get a price let me know.

Is it a grey manual, black? Auto?
Mileage?
What’s the chassis like?

It's a mint car. I sorted the K jet and engine running on this one.

It's a jump in and drive off in it car. To be honest I'm surprised it's for sale! It's been a pleasure helping you with it Asif.

Sounds great!
Re-reading the work done I guess it’s a manual?
I can move pretty much immediately with a sale if it’s within budget etc :-)

Whereabouts is she?

It's a 5 speed manual
Black interior
Dealer stripes
Dark silver wheels to compliment interior
Signed glove box by Christoper Lloyd (I met him at comic con Dubai)
49,000ish miles (speedo cable not working)
Clutch recently fitted with Cracnkshaft seal
Window regulator motors are new

Engine is perfect - drives very well - starts and idles fantastically thanks to the Bosch Expert Nick! - Fires up first time

Things to do:
AC Regas - not blowing cold
Fit the water pump i have already
Fit the NOS Original black leather seats and rubber door seals
Fit the new carpet set
Cat bypass kit needs fitting

The chassis is not rotten, but could do with a tidy up at the front (surface rust), as it's had some brake fluid corrosion near the usual brake cylinder leak location neat the side of the petrol tank - I haven't messed with it, and is left original - until someone can do it properly.

I was thinking 32K for a quick sale is fair


I also have a fully printed owners workshop manual - I will provide all other spares I have to go with this - like my old rear bumper - lights etc that I replace.

I will send a chassis pic when it stops raining!

I can pick up and drop off at Leeds Train Station if you want a viewing.

Hope that helps

if anyone has seen the car on the forum, an honest appraisal would be appreciated.

Car was owned by Ken Baker in the US, I think the provinence is that he was a a DMC dealer in the states, and this was one of his personal cars.

Sorry to see you are selling Asif, I can't see it hanging around long at that price though. Good luck with the sale mate.

Now sold to a forum member

Thanks to all who expressed an interest.

The buyer has asked to remain anonymous until he is ready to make the announcement himself.
