no no MOT or tax, it a 1983 model twin tanks under the seats (gas con as i already said with the certificate) passenger footwell needs repairing truck-cab as you might be able to see from the piccy and a general tidy and sprus up. as i said i would love to do it myself but on the drive in middle of birmingham (just down the road from a school) isnt ideal.

AbyssDJ:
you should see the drive we've just rechassised our 110 on ;) so basically then its just the chassis and footwells? rest of the bulkhead ok?

edy:
haha  :)  ye prety much i mean wouldnt do the baulkhead any harm to be painted and treated.

AbyssDJ:
yeah i know what you mean.

Bob Ajob:
That looks gorgeous mate!!
What a lucky find! I'm sure the bulkhead rot would have put other potential buyers off. Shouldn't be too bad to patch back up. You should be able to find some info on here:

I'm not sure that the head can be converted to run on unleaded, it didn't seem likely when I looked into it (unless no-one knew?), though to do it you need hardened valve seats. The v6 is a nice smooth engine, I've just got rid of mine for a 2286 petrol, though only for a change and for something easier to work on (still learning about engines).

If you're doing the head, this place here does gaskets for them:
