Black EXTERIOR:The exterior has a new black paintjob, but it's not perfect. It has some orange peel, but has 10 coats of paint and can be wet sanded and buffed even more. The body work is not perfect either. The original color of the car was #23 Sienna Brown(yuk, and that is why it now black).

The rear carpet is the longer style, allowing more cargo area and some storage behind the seats. The wood dash has been stripped and refinished. The dash pad is original and has some cracks. The dash knee pads are also original and in good shape. The white sun visors are original in great shape except for the passenger vanity mirror.

A Pertronics pointless ignition system has been installed in the distributor, helping the engine to run smooth. A new water pump has been installed. The exhaust is stock, but the muffler has been replaced with a loud glass-pack.
TRANSMISSION:The non-overdrive, 4 speed transmission works well and shifts well. A new clutch, pressureplate, throw-outbearing, clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder have all been installed. New gear shifter linkage spring and bushing. Original stock gear shift knob.

WHEELS/TIRES:The 13x4.5 steel wheels are stock, painted silver and are held on with larger Land Rover Freelander wheels studs and lug nuts. The chrome hubcaps are early stock hubcaps for Triumph Herald and Spitfires and have the early hand painted aluminum globes, which I refurbished. The tires are old and a little oversized at 205/60R13. A 185/60R13 would fit better and rub less on bumps and sharp turns. You could also put on 155/80R13, which would be the closest to the original size. There is no spare tire, jack etc. included.
REAR DRIVE:The rear differentialis stock and has not been rebuilt. It does drip some oil(typical Brit!). The driveline and drive axles have been rebuild with new Roto-flex and U-joints.

The car appears to have been in a previous accident. The right rear fender has been replaced. Before I painted the exterior and sprayed the interior with Lizard Skin, the inside of the fender was Valenciablue. The deck under the spare tire well has been partially hammered out.
PARTS SUPLIERS:The new parts mostly came from Moss Motors, Victoria British, British Parts Northwest and SpitBits.
MILEAGE:eBay required I put the mileage down. That is what the speedometer says, but I find it unlikely to be true. It may have 137738?
