Vehicle description

CLASSIC RALLIES ANYONE?
ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL SOLD IN NORTH AMERICA. CANADIAN DELIVERY. ONLY 535 LEFT HAND DRIVE BUILT. MOST SOLD IN EUROPE.
LAST AND BEST OF THE ICONIC MK2 MODEL. SMOOTHEST ENGINE, WITH STRAIGHT PORT HEAD GIVES SAME PERFORMANCE AS 3.8 BUT WITH JAGUAR"S AWESOMELY SMOOTH ALL-SYNCHRO TRANSMISSION. HAS NEW BEARINGS IN GEARBOX AND OVERDRIVE. REBUILT DRIVESHAFT. ALL NEW BRAKE FLEXHOSES AND NEW BOOSTER UNIT. NEW FRONT HUB BEARINGS AND HUB SEALS FRONT AND REAR. NEW CLUTCH WITH NOS B&B RELEASE BEARING AT THE SAME TIME GEARBOX WAS OUT FOR REBUILD. NOS SMITHS SPEEDOMETER 353 MILES AGO - ORIGINAL SEIZED AT 55,000 MILES AND NISONGER DECLARED IT UN-REPAIRABLE, SO I FOUND A NEW ORIGINAL.
ORIGINAL FACTORY MANUALS AND WALL POSTER INCLUDED. THICK FILE OF PREVIOUS RECORDS BACK TO "70"S.
ALSO INCLUDES A SET OF 2" CARBS AND DISTRIBUTOR FROM 420 (NEED REBUILD) - THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS SAME AS 420 ANYWAY SO IS BOLT-ON HORSEPOWER! PLUS CALIPERS AND STUBAXLES ETC. FOR BIG BRAKE CONVERSION TO 3-POT GIRLING FROM THE SAME "68 420.
UNIQUE SLIM BUMPERS INSTEAD OF THE CLUMSY BIG OLDER MK2 STYLE.
LOOKS GOOD. SOUNDS AWSOME! STARTS, RUNS, DRIVES, AND STOPS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. UPGRADED TO POLY FRONT SWAY BAR BUSHINGS. UPGRADED TO KONI ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS AT FRONT AND SPAX ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS AT REAR. GEARBOX VERY SMOOTH AND QUIET, OVERDRIVE WORKS INSTANTLY IN AND OUT. GOOD TIRES AND WIRE WHEELS. NEW SPLINED HUBS. OTHERWISE ALL SUSPENSION IS ORIGINAL. UPGRADED TO A LOCKING GAS CAP. H4 GENUINE LUCAS HALOGEN HEADLAMPS, GENUINE LUCAS RANGER AUXILLIARY SPOT LAMPS. THE WIRE WHEELS ARE POWDER-COATED.
EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT RADIO - (WHO NEEDS IT ANYWAY?) AND THE CLOCK (NEVER SEEN ONE THAT DOES WORK. .)
ORIGINAL UPHOLSTERY HAS A SMALL SPLIT IN THE DRIVER"S SEAT CUSHION, OTHERWISE EXCELLENT. HEADLINER WAS REPLACED BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND HAS SEVERAL TEARS. NEW CARPETS PARTLY INSTALLED. ORIGINAL WOOD TRIM WAS REFINISHED BY PREV. OWNER. HAS SOME CRACKS AND RUB-THROUGH, BUT GENERALLY PRESENTABLE.
HAD ROCKER PANELS REPLACED IN "80"S - HAVE ALBUM SHOWING WORK PHOTOS. PAINT 6 OUT OF 10 DUE TO CRACKS IN COLOUR COAT - POOR MASKING CAUSING A LARGE CRACK IN THE COLOUR COAT BELOW ONE CORNER OF THE REAR WINDOW. LH REAR SUSPENSION HANGER AND JACKING POINT PROPERLY REPLACED WITH M. ROBEY PARTS. RH IS ORIGINAL BUT SOLID. RH REAR DOOR WAS REPLACED WAY BACK IN HISTORY DUE TO ACCIDENT, AND HAS SOME SMALL BUBBLES ALONG BOTTOM EDGE. SOME FILLER IN THE RH REAR WHEELARCH, ALSO BEHIND BOTH FRONT WHEELS. SMALL HOLE IN FLOOR DIRECTLY BELOW DRIVER"S FEET. ALL SOLID OTHERWISE.
