Selling my SE

Post by TrevorK »

A combination of losing my garage and not getting enough opportunities to use my car have led to me deciding to sell. I don't want it to deteriorate, sat in the street.

The car is white with full leather trim. Paintwork is OK with some chips on the front and the edges of the doors and a little laquer peel on the roof. One corner of the windscreen has started to delaminate but is doesn't intrude into the line of sight. The interior is good with no headlining droop and the leather is in good condition. The car goes well and had new front discs earlier this year. It also had new, stainless under-axle pipes and was MOT'd in July, passing with no advisories. It will have a new cam belt this month.

I have some history from the 90's and the previous owner but not a full history. The handbook and jack are present. I think it might be the original spare although the tyre doesn't appear to be in bad condition.

Engine and gearbox perform well and the car is reliable, although I have disconnected the rev limiter to prevent cutting when the engine is cold. Air conditioning is fitted but doesn't work. I haven't investigated why.

Thanks for looking.

I must have missed this - so sorry to see you go Trevor :cry: you are a great bloke, a great asset to the club and very knowledgeable. I hope you find your way back and please stay in touch. Your (old) car looks fabulous and I echo Richard’s comments about the new owner.

Cheers, Richard
