And lots of other little parts too.

The car has been recently serviced with all usual items, plugs, dizzy cap, arm, HT leads, oil, oil filters etc? and runs well.

Outstanding issues.
I only have one items that I know about that will make this a fantastic car:
1. Flashing temperature light.
   Replaced sensor switches however this light always flashes, however it doesn?t overheat or overcool.

Other than that bodywork is in good condition, with a few spots of rust in places but for 20 years old, it?s very good.

Like I say this is an ongoing project and have been driving this for 4-5 months and it?s great, however recent news from my wife indicates that we need a family car, therefore I am forced to sell.
