'66 122s
Hi Folks,
Thinking of moving on my Amazon.....My wife won't drive it and there are times when a second car, more acceptable, (to her !), car is needed..... Ideal for someone wishing to get into the delights of Amazon motoring Its a '66 122s, 4 door, red. I've run it dailly for the past 2 years never let me down. Has taken me all over the country including some 500+ mile runs there and back in the same day. Always starts first time, even on the coldest days. Temp gauge works, sits just at halfway mark as it should Oil light goes off instantly fuel guage works Accurate description would be "well used"... Bodywise, it needs the rear arches done and one inner wing, there is some bubbling on other panels Had new tyres all round last year, all new rubber bushes and 4 new suspension arms on the back end this year....MOT'd till May, . Screen has a leak, brand (new rubber supplied), Top drivers door hinge worn, (replacement supplied). Rear arch could do with repair, (section supplied), Engine mounts soggy, (new ones supplied). Inertia reel belts back and front. Both front seats resprung...... Interior redone in Tan vinyl, very well done Diff whines a bit on ovverrun Radiator rebuilt, new stat and hoses Horn assembly all rebuilt with correct components Bumpers, OKish, not super shiney and some pitting, one quarter at front could do with renewing SWEM Pushbutton start Floors and A panels sound. Box of spares, brake shoes, new flexis, spare calipers, instrument panel, SS silencer, Unique Volvo hub puller, spare carbs and distributor etc. factory manual and haynes. I also have an overdrive box and the very rare, correct switch/ OD badging and short prop, included in the deal Interesting (?) plate Spare engine, believed good Some pics from last summer...... I'll take current pics later today . If you need pics of anything, let me know and I'll post them here. Its a noisy, rattley, and very honest car. Runs well and is a lot of fun to drive! Nothing better than sitting behind that great big steering wheel, window down..Its great watching the reactions of folks on the motorway as I overtake and pull away from them at 70+ in my 43 year old car, free tax and buttons for the fully comp insurance... As I said, it could do with some TLC, don't come looking for a concours car, if it was then I'd be looking for a lot more money ! I'm gonna be sad.... Car is near Glasgow, I'm looking for 1200 or pretty near offer..... Viewing most welcome
