  Subject: [doc] New RHD car.


  Well I've gone and done it again, yesterday I blew a big lump of our new
  house building money! ( the seller was following the last RHD auction,
  so no more bargains I'm afraid)

  I've just bought vin. 12173, reg number SIJ 1084.  Black interior,
  manual.

  1,600 kilometres from new.

  The bad bits are, its not running, (over-fueling big-time) the whole
  engine has been "gone over" by some amateur auto electrician, spare
  wires, fuel leaks et. Droopy head liners, all struts scrap, bonnet stuck
  shut. A couple of slight dents but not to bad. One door electrically
  dead. Cracked windscreen (very early one with radio antenna.)  That's
  just what I've found up to now.

  On the positive side, the car has an absolutely comprehensive history
  right from the receivers, auction, Gerry Castle Light conversion Etc.
  Etc, Museum storage, police prosecution of the bent museum boss, right
  up to date. It has brand new "Cobra" tyres all round, plus all the old
  USA lights/ indicators (that I will be re-fitting). The old tyres look
  like new. Its never been out in the wet so is almost immaculate
  underneath. The interior is like new after a very quick clean. It was
  MOT'd last December, so putting "Gull 81" on it should be easy enough.
  It's a very early under body (like all the black Woller-Hodec cars)
  with the rough sides. The engine number is 495, again very early.
  The restoration is already underway....all I need now is Nick T to wave
  his magic spells under by engine cover and we'll be right!

  Best regards
  Chris Parnham
