I bought this last year as a non-running project. It's been stored at a relative's house while I finished off my hefty 240 GLT project (Thread here!)
![]() It's a '64 122S. The bodywork is exceptionally straight and rust free, but the underside and engine bay need a fair amount of welding. The car is a South African import. It was brought to the UK in the mid 70's I believe. As such there's a few extra details such as the different seats and flying boot handle trim. ![]() ![]() ![]() The interior is pretty decent, with an intact headling, good seats, door cards and dash. The dashpad is, predictably, scrap. ![]() It has a B18A single carb engine which is seized as the #4 spark plug has been left out. A day or so after I bought this car another one came up a few miles away for low scrap value, but it had a working twin carb B18, an overdrive box, a good interior and pretty much everything else in it worked. I bought that and stripped it down as a donor car. ![]() ![]() I stripped it clean. ![]() ![]() And off it went. ![]() So the project has sat in storage for about 6 months while I got the 240 back on the road. I managed to get a nice clean MOT for it in December. ![]() With the 240 now back on the road, I got the Amazon moved to my place this weekend so that I could start work on it. ![]() Stay tuned for a major weldathon, engine rebuild, etc! |
