Description
Originally a 2. 1-litre IOE straight-six, but since fitted with a Land Rover 2. 25-litre diesel engine. This was expertly installed many decades ago by an excellent engineer. I think all the minor modifications it entailed would be easy to reverse – or a Land Rover 2. 5-litre petrol engine or TDI would slot straight in, both of which strike me as appealing options.
Last MoT'd in 2007, I think.
It runs and drives, but, unsurprisingly, it has no brakes. The engine sounds healthy.
The interior's patinated, but mostly pretty good.
The chassis is in good condition, aside from both front outriggers, which need replacing. The body needs sills, a front floorpan on the driver's side and a few other bits here-and-there. It'd make a fine 'oily rag' car without too much effort.
It comes with a literal ton of spares, including, I think, all the panels required to restore the body.
This belonged to my good friend Theodore J Gillam, who sadly passed away last year. Anyone who knew Theo will understand the 'logic' of the diesel engine conversion...
It has a current V5C in my name. I also have its original buff logbook.
It's in my car barn near Northleach, Gloucestershire. Inspection is most welcome.
