Chris, This car was bought in left hand drive configuration in London UK and driven in the U.K. and Europe for about 6 months before being brought over to Canada by the previous owners parents. The Car was driven until about 1979 and parked for 5 years. The previous owner bought the car from his parents then got the car running and started to collect parts and panels. He drove it until 1986, when he had the heads removed for reconditioning and conversion for unleaded fuel and never put the engine back together. Over the last 5 years the engine was rebuilt and bored out to 2200 cc to run better on modern fuel, brake system rebuilt, all panels off, the base unit was scraped of all undercoating, surface rust repair done, welding done to sills, base unit repainted, undercoating renewed, gearbox seals replaced....many many more small jobs done. I think I have touched 98% of the car. I have started recoloring interior trim with SEM vinyl dye with incredible results. My door cards look brand new!
Yes JVY, I was torn between the original Arden Green, or the Zircon Blue colour of my Dads 1969 2000 TC. I am also glad I stayed with the original color. The original suspension is in good shape, I just know it can be better! I do have a weak front right spring so left rear side drops a bit.
