It comes with some regret that I'm thinking of selling my 360 due to complete lack of time since getting a new job to do the things I want to do to it when it's a second car and the fact that me owning a 300 makes me do silly things with money
I'll run through it in detail and see if there's any interest, I'm not in a huge rush to sell and it'd be nice if it went to an enthusiast!
1984 360 GLS
2.0 B19A engine with Stromberg CD175 carb (with a new diaphragm!)
5 speed gearbox
46k miles with fully stamped Service History (and I mean completely full!)
2 previous owners, the first being an elderly gent who had it from new for 24 years
Original owners pack, manual, service book, keys, keyfob, dealership plates and tax disc holder
12 Months MOT and 6 Months Tax (£112!) - it initially failed the MOT on emissions but I realised I hadn't put the air cleaner hose back on properly after fitting the diaphragm and as soon as I put that back on it passed with no advisories - HC and CO levels well within limits.
Good Points:
Very, very good original condition - a hundred times better than any of the 300's I've owned before. 2nd place 'Best 300' at the V300 National a couple of weeks ago.
No oil/water loss and diff/gearbox gaskets fine too
Never been welded - even the jacking points/sills are totally solid
Immaculate and very comfy interior
Hella spot light grille
OEM Tow Bar with twin electrics
Excellent paintwork - barely any swirl marks or scratches
14" Mk2 GLT 'Leo's' with new Khumo tyres - cost £160 a couple of months ago! With 4x centre caps (not great condition but they're all there) and 14" steel spare with new tyre
Good door and window seals/scrapers - pretty quiet cruiser
Returned 36mpg on the Peak District trip
Drives really nice with instant low down torque from tickover
Bad points - I'm being very picky here!:
Slight rust on front corners of front wings - with these repaired however I would say the car would be practically perfect. They've just been touched in for now though.
Tiny parking dent in rear passenger door
Slight laquer chip on drivers rear arch
Slight shallow dent in rear bumper
Thermostat a bit lazy, but I plan on fitting another
Small dent in chrome trim on front bumper
Stone chip on leading edge of bonnet (not broken the paint though)
Would benefit from a set of gas shocks (the originals are oil filled and I think this would improve both ride and handling) - but I am being picky!
I do have various spares/accessories that could go with the car too (if not I shall be offering these up for sale after the car has sold), probably of most interest: 6 dial Smiths cluster (Ambient Temp & Econ - very rare), Mk2 GLT rear spoiler, Front Fog lights and switch, NOS in blue box centre console gauge panel. At the moment it has a modern CD player fitted in the glovebox, which makes it pretty convenient but the original tape player is there too. Do also have a parcel shelf in the right blue with a pair of hefty 6x9 speakers in them.
Overall, it's a fantastic car which I really enjoyed driving at the Peak District V300 National but it highlighted that the thing really needs to be driven more, I would have every confidence in this car as a pretty practical daily driver. Given the condition, MOT/Tax situation and wheel/tyre combination I'd like around the £800ono mark. Car is based in Birmingham but I could possibly meet half way/deliver for petrol and a return trip home on the train depending on the distance.
