Currently running:
1776cc engine with genuine (European) twin Weber 40s. All brand new quality parts bought and built by Daz Chandler of Aircooled Performance. (Build sheet available.)
Brand new heavy-duty Rancho gearbox.
Gene Berg shifter.
Adjustable front axle.
12 Volt conversion. Painstaking wiring revision (all joints crimped and soldered and covered in heat shrink).
Working 12v semaphores, backed up by Led lights/incorporated indicators in rear... wiring in place for front indicators if wanted.
Autometer Sportcomp tachometer with adjustable shift light, mounted via a Californian-made Fastfab mount.
BBT GT Sprintstars.
Disc front brakes.
The car also comes with:
Original, working 1200 engine. (The engine was in the car when I bought it 2012, and saw the car through it’s MOT.)
Original gear box. (As above.)
Original front axle.
Original Swedish rear wings with gravel guards (currently running accurate fibreglass reproductions, since I didn’t want to drill any holes for lights in the originals).
Original gear lever.
(It still has the original glass water bottle for the windscreen wash system... quite rare now I’m told.)
It took my 18 months to find a car this structurally solid (the pan is gloss black, no underseal, rust-free - either stainless or zinc - bolts etc. Please contact me for full details, files of photos, engine build sheet etc etc.
The car's advertised elsewhere at £16,995... but I'm open to offers at the moment as there's another car I want to buy so need garage space/funds.
