It has been sitting in a showroom for at least 5 + years. Dry as a bone and no rust anywhere. Of course it's English and it has electrical ghosts everywhere. Put a new fuel pump in it and it fired right up. It has a single Weber down draft carb on it now, but last week I scored a proper, complete SU side draft set up from a running car of the same year so it should just be a swap and tune. The brakes have been trouble. I have replaced all the steel lines and rubber brake hoses, rebuilt the calipers, and replaced the wheel cylinders but it still have a mushy pedal. I bought a Lockeed master cylinder from the guy I got the carbs from so I will replace that next when the weather gets warmer. I also scored a deluxe replacement carpet set on Ebay for a mere $100. So electrical issues like dash lights and heater motor aside it was a great buy at $3500.00 and as you say should be a fun easy road to having a fun car to blast around the creek hills around here and go fishing in.
note English parking brake LOL
