Hello people,
sadly time has come to separate from my pride and joy, but not sure what value to put on (and if my estimates are anything close to reality) so I need your expert help.
Specs of the car are as follows:

Bodywork
-1968 (F reg) DeLuxe Almond Green
-powdercoated subrames
-deseamed rear
-Webasto 3/4 Roof
-Wavy grill
-bonnet scoop
-all original sealed headlights
-original double skinned bootlid with tilting numberplate holder & light
-Monza filler cap
-all new seals and rubbers (every single one, doors, windows etc,)
-floor, wings, front panel, door seals and bottoms all professionally replaced
-10 inches MiniLight powdercoated matt black
-hi-lo all round
-adjustable tie rod
-adjustable lower arm
-adjustable shocks all round (Gaz)
-Rear rollcage (in red)
-anti rust,waxoil etc
-all the usual like chromed wipers, blanking plugs and sprays

Interiors
-original interiors + driver bucket seat
-3 point driver harness (but all original Kangool items are there)
-full deluxe red carpet (mint condition)
-veneer dashboard
-10" steering wheel
-3 instruments
-original Paddy throttle pedal

Engine
-1380 with hi-comp Omega, ported and blueprinted, 11 studs
-stage 4 head
-twin 1"3/4 SU, manifold and correct linkage (slightly pitted but only recently polished)
-hi lift rockers
-duplex gears
-rally kent cam
-cooper S dizzy
-GT gearbox
-metro oil cooler, braided hoses
-Maniflow full exhaust system with central pipe
-refurbished starter motor
-new radiator
-hi-flow fuel pump
-all the usual clutch updates
-upgraded oil pump

Electrics
-brand new full loom cotton wrapping
-brand new exchange box and all relays, boxes etc.
Brakes & Drivetrain
-Cooper S discs & calipers
-Braided hoses all around
-Quick steering rack

Bits and pieces
-New clutch and brake masters with braided hoses
-oil pressure braided hose
-some paint left
-original numberplates
-all parts have been powdercoated, all bolts, nuts etc replaced with better quality products
-all bushes, plastic fittings etc have been replaced

and still to be fitted a rear Lucas fog/reversing light and 2 Lucas Fogmaster period light (the real deal set, near and offside), as new in a box, complete of swithc, wiring etc,. A brand new speedo and also bits like mirrors and a couple of boxes of stuff.

I'm sure I forgot something, I will try to upload pics as soon as I can but the car is in immaculate condition, only the engine bay needs minor attention, as some brake fluid spilled out by the master cylinders (operator error, not due to leakage) and the front shocks will need replacing at some point.

Please be nice to a newbie ;D and if anyone is interested please PM me (or whatever the forum policy is). A lot of love, sweat and tears went into this car, I just want her to go to a good home. Pulls like a train with a perfectly set up carburation.
Cheers,
Max

as said car is in very good condition. I just gave her a wash, no wax or chrome polish. As said not concours winner but won't take much to get there.
Also pics of the FogRanger light and the surface rust inside the engine bay (as said I have some of the paint left, so easy enough job. Tires have barely 100 miles on them.
Hope it helps,
Max
