This 2-litre, 4-speed example on offer at auction carries the 86” SWB chassis fitted with the hardtop. The car was purchased by its current owner in 2008 and has undergone a complete strip down and rebuild from October 2014 and completed in March 2015. This work included the chassis and bulkhead repaired as necessary and with the wheels shot blasted and painted; all new wheel cylinders; flexible brake piping; new brake shoes for the front axle and the master cylinder re-sleeved; new handbrake shoes; the gearbox rear seal and all new shock absorbers and rear check straps were fitted; a new clutch plate; new water pump, fuel pump; starter motor and the carburettor over-hauled and new engine and gearbox mounts have been fitted. Other works include new reproduction wiring harness; dynamo; regulator; wipers; indicators and headlight assemblies. A full bare metal rub back has been attended to on all panels and although the car shows its scars no fillers were used during the process. The old wooden shooting hatch in the roof has been replaced with a smoked glass fixed panel. The vehicle is wired positive earth with the new wipers wired negative earth which brings them in to effective working order. All body rubbers have been renewed and the interior has been refurbished with remanufactured seat squabs and reupholstered seat backs.
