it doesn't look too bad, it's a nice interior except the back seat back which has deflated, still has carpet & underlay & original engine with 60 plus thousand on :thumbs:

first spend already a battery, well it'll be a case of hand me down, the new one will go on 'PCJ', the 6 month old one off 'PCJ' will go on 'The Van' & the 2 year old one will be used on 'ROV' to get it up & running again, £57.50 for an 038 from Halfords ruddy rip off!

What a miserable day to collect 'ROV', drizzly/rainy weather but i did it, it's not bad, original floors, sills, boot floor, only work needed is nose of outer sill offside behind the wing, end of front apron under the wing, bit of work on front cowl & both rear wing bottoms at the rear plus mechanical work, note the weird knobs on the starter pull & choke, also the 'colour coded' ash trays
