This is going on Ebay on Sunday, so you've got 2 days before the price
shoots up!
It is a 1969 2A 'G' reg SWB.Headlamps in wings, hardtop.
MOT'd today (30.7.04)
Dead reliable 2.25 petrol.Kenlowe fan fitted, though the automatic
thermostat may not be working at the mo - the fan was constantly on last
time I took it out,this is the temp. probe, which is £28 to replace.
I started a re-wire last year, but have never got round to completely
finishing it.Everything worked for the MOT, and the wiring is certainly
easier and cleaner than original now, but it does need finishing off to
make to really good.It has an alternator.
All seats are pretty new, 2 cloth fronts, 1 centre vinyl(all with belts)
1 flip up rear seat on one side, 1 bench seat on the other side in the
back.Both pretty new.Carpet in the front, some headlining, and more
material to finish the headlining.radio/cassette.
All tyres and wheels have done less than 400 miles.It has white 8 spokes,
with the bonnet mounted spare being the original wheel.All 4 original
wheels are included as well, with tyres with good tread, but they are
quite old, so the rubber looks to be perishing.
Numerous new and old/usable spares included. Dynamo/reg box.New clutch
slave cylinder, 2 new bearings for the front prop shaft - it has slight
play, so could do with changing if you want to use 4wd regularly.Spare rad
hoses, 3 or 4 tins of paint (LR green,roof cream and silver) most of a
gearbox,original steering wheel,and a pile of other bits and pieces that I
have forgotten,inc. both Haynes books.
The front suspension and steering was (nearly) all replaced 18 months ago,
both swivels/seals/kingpins etc, all steering T.R. ends, new leaf springs.
The rear springs are usable, but I'd be replacing them eventually if I was
keeping it, if only because new springs are so much more comfortable.
I've hardly touched the paintwork inside, so that will need doing, though
some people like the chipped/bare look! The door pillars passed the MOT
fine, but 1 side does look like it needs replacing,though it has been like
that for the last 2.5 years that I have had it.The chassis has had a
number of patches - both front hangars have been replaced, and it had a
new rear 1/4 chassis 2 years ago.It seems to me to be fairly solid
everywhere.The passenger side footwell has been patched in the distant
past, and again, it will need patching/cleaning up eventually - it just
looks a little messy from underneath, but seems structurally sound - it
wasnt mentioned in the MOT. I've got loads more to add, but cant think of
it at the mo, so if you want to know more, then please email me. 2 quick
pics here:

£850 if sold this weekend - it'll still need a few odds and ends doing,
but is completely usable.On Sunday, it'll be on ebay with a £750 start
price.
