1983 MUST GO! Rare Le Baron Convertible For Restoration SOLD

I bought this car in 2001, and have used it regularly as a daily driver, up until about 3 years ago. Most of its use has been in the summer months. The MOT expired at the end of May 2012. I decided then, that rather than just get it through another MOT, it deserved better, and that it should be fully restored before going back on the road.

Unfortunately due to work commitments, and a 69 LTD in the garage waiting for an engine rebuild, I don’t have the time so I am reluctantly offering it up for sale.

The engine is the 2. 6 L, which runs well, and always starts easily. It does suffer from an uneven tickover, and would most probably be sorted with a carb rebuild.

The bodywork is sound, apart from the floor which needs welding. This was caused by water settling in there at one time due to blocked sill drain holes, which have since been cleared. There is also some rust on the trunk lid, and paintwork is required on the RH front fender, although it would benefit froma complete respray.

The power top works perfectly. The cover was replaced a few years ago, but now has tears, and needs replacing again.

The white band tyres are good, with plenty of tread left.

The interior is probably the worst aspect of the car. It is leather, but a previous owner painted it with Halfords upholstery paint, but as the rest of the car was so good I bought anyway, and put seat covers on. Definitely needs the interior restoring to make nice.

This car could be put back on road with a bit of work, or fully restored to make a really nice 80’s classic convertible, or a cool custom.
