I do not want to let her go till after Castle Combe ,May 2017,unless someone starts waving £16,001 in my face , till then one has plenty of time to peruse , think , ask the wife or even ask me for further details ,and she will have a new 12 month MOT.
Classic good looking car, puts a smile on my face whenever I drive her, reason for selling, am building a Sleeper Morris Minor ( senile dementia setting in. )
After Combe I will be removing the Fuel Injection system ( for my Moggie Sleeper ) and refitting the original Dellortos (unless agreed otherwise ), at that time you have the choice of retaining the 5-speed box or me re-fitting the original Ford 4-speed gearbox .
