missingsid Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 So this may be old news but I found this on the bay of e, its very nice but is it worth the price tag? The ad talks of an early version but only in terms of being a diesel. Reg UXB might be significant but I need to look on the S1OC web site to see.

Arjan Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 One can always ask... However, the "Diesel" badge is missing and I very much doubt is aluminium checker plate as floor panels were the thing in the '50's..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 All the corners and cappings look like they've been painted silver rather than regalvanised. Perhaps that's just the limitations of the image on my phone. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Rear capping folds too tight and sguare? Also the reg number does not exist in DVLA checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW8IZR Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 What was the restorer thinking - doing a so called nut and bolt restoration, expecting top price - and using tread plate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 2 pack finish? As Mo says some of those galvanised parts do look silver painted - bumper included. Treadplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil110 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Wrong shape rear reflector, back lights wrong type, wrong type of cable used for wiring, carppy crimp on connectors, dodgy aluminium ducting for air intake, the previously mentioned checquer plate. If you want top money for a nut and bolt restoration, then it really ought to be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
