Its got a bit of rust in the bonnet and the right hand guard and it looks to have the 2l motor in it. The body is pretty straight. Looks to have the original rego plates on it too but its been out of rego for ages.What ya reckon its worth $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 06/01/09 10:51 AM Share Posted 06/01/09 10:51 AM You said it "looks" like its got the 2 litre engine.....? If its an overhead cam deal then its a 2 litre for sure.....if its got a pushrod/rocker setup then its probably a 1300/1600 engine. And twin carbs.....if its got what I hope its got (a pair of Webers).....the carbs and manifold would be worth more than the rest of the car Either way, there a top little car and could bring good money with a little TLC...... Im with Pat.....if you need a hand , Ill be in it too ok........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
