Right then, time to let my old girl go to a good home (I hope)
August 1974 144 Deluxe auto in a very 1970s orange with matching orange carpets and orange deck chair seats! Only 72,160 miles showing and I have no reason to doubt this is original (Although I cannot prove as I got her with no back up paperwork I am afraid) At time of writing no Mot but is booked in next week so will be sold with a full 12 months on her. I have owned the car for almost 10 years and have done a few jobs over the years to get her roadworthy. 4 new tyres and a bottom end respray4 years ago to put her into a good and solid condition 2 (going by the descriptions in Practical Classics). Also comes with a Volvo roof rack which I suspect is a later type than the car but still very handy ! Too many things to do and so have not been using her so has to go. Can I start the offers around £1000 (with the years MOT if all goes to plan) You can call me on 07918 763 904 and the car is in Flitwick, Bedfordshire. Will try and post some photos |

Hi there nice car you have there.
I'm affraid I have to many cars myself but always enjoy seeing the earlier models. I have seen only one other orange one with the deckchair interior so all photoes will be nice to see. It looks like you enjoyed taking it to the odd show?as well. I hope you manage to sell it but just lately our beloved old tanks haven't been doing to well in the present climate.What with fuel costs going through the roof etc. Anyone with some spare money could get together a good collection for future years. Many Thanks Brian. |

Hello,
There was a small patch (matchbox size) on the rear of one sill and a small strip on the inner wing on the passenger side. The passenger wing is a steel replacement as the one it came with I suspect was a replacement that had rotted away due to lack of rust proofing. That was it really as it is remarkably rust free. The bottom end was resprayed as small chips had been left and they had blistered and it looked a bit rubbish. I will run the vacuum over the inside and take some more photos. will also post some 'before' pictures. Hopefully someone will take it on. I bought it for the colour scheme which I think is fabulous. |
