The bad points.
The paint is not going to win any competitions, and some panel gaps could be better. There’s no heating system, some of the glass is scratched in places. There is a slight whine noticeable from the diff, this would probably not be heard if the car had some sound proofing and a carpet set. The oil temperature gauge only works intermittently; original rev counter which is still fitted works but reads erratically, a modern 80mm instrument is fitted in place of the clock.
Some of the original removed parts steering wheel, hood catches etc will come with the car.
