Dear All, my 1962 2 door Amazon, Agatha, is now for sale. Agatha's a little bit special as she's an original 'Swedish' right hand drive car that was imported to the UK in Oct 1988, she also has the brilliant original full length Golde/Webasto Sunroof...which makes for great driving. And being an original 'Swedish' RHD car, all the interior chrome wording is in Swedish...so the new owner brush up on their Flakt and Ljus!
The car's in very good original condition in SlateBlue #67 [which is a cracking colour] and was resprayed some 4-5 years ago, this has now nicely toned down. Since purchase last year I've completed a mass of work on her [see below]. The interior is in good clean original used condition which I had planned to completely refurb' and had bought a set of later headrest seats and rear seats with arm rest. These come with the car should the new owner want to rebuild as part of an interior upgrade.
List of work completed in the last 12 months, it's a long list, all with receipts:
New [spotlessly clean] Twin SU HS6's with stainless steel linkages [see engine bay pics below]
New K&N Filters with internal alloy stub stacks
New Stainless Steel Exhaust

Plus a whole host of other small works I've part forgotten + Agatha had new inner+outer sills fitted 02.2015 by the previous owner costing £2721.50 [receipted]
Also comes with a new all season outdoor car cover.
There's a box full of component receipts, primarily from the ever helpful Simon at Brookhouse. The car will also come with a box full of other spare components that are either brand new [receipted] or good used parts that I've picked up.
For sale at £7500. This is a fair price for the car with all the above New Parts and works completed. I want the car to go to a really good new home where she'll be looked after, so if you're after an original good/used 2door Amazon that's genuinely ready-to-go this may be the one.
