Fuel tank was replaced 5yrs ago. I appreciate that my car isn't to everyone's taste, but it's a solid car and I concentrated on everything underneath before thinking about everything on top. The car was originally brought over to the UK in 1969 buy a serviceman who was stationed in Uxbridge, Middx and I'm the latest custodian of the car. The car was regularly driven until the insurance ran out 3 months ago but I start it regularly to keep the fluids moving. The car isn't perfect but it is solid and runs extremely well. If it was I'd be asking a whole lot more for the car I've owned the car since 2006 doing bits as and when I had time and could afford it. The car was once owned by Jeff Beck, the late rock guitarist. I don't know whether this matters to anyone, but it's a neat part of the cars history. There is some literature and some parts that will also go with the car. There is some movement on the price, but not much as you really couldn't build it for what I'm asking. I have more pics on my phone which I can share with interested parties.
Thanks for looking.
