It is a 1969 2A 'G' reg SWB.Headlamps in wings, hardtop.
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 may be the temp. probe which are £28 to replace.
It failed the last MOT on the front spring hangars corroded, 1 rear brake
not working, and wiper blade split.
The front spring hangers have been replaced, I have bought the rear pads
but have not fitted them yet.(it failed because the rear diff oil seal had
gone, throwing oil over the brake backplate,contaminating the shoes).
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, 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. Pics will be available tomorrow, so
long as the weather is good enough for me to get some pics.
Alan.
