Description: This has been completely and lovingly restored by myself (I have done everything apart from paint the shell) but unfortunately has to go thanks to a change of circumstances.  I don’t want swaps, I want cash.  Likewise I don’t want stupid offers.  My price is fair if not indeed cheap. I have a folder full of receipts (and spreadsheet) for what I have bought plus prior to my ownership.  And hundreds of photos of the work I have done. The car has been showed and gets attention everywhere is goes

Bad points
Needs properly setting up to get the most from the engine
Clocks – LCD not working and the oil buzzer comes on when started from cold (not an engine issue as Ive tried the clocks in a mates Mk1 and they do the same.  Once engine is upto temperature the noise stops
Runs lumpy thanks to the cam but I do have the original which comes with the car
