Unfinished project. RHD ’69 Early Bay Tin Top, Devon conversion. 1600SP.
Was last driven on road in 2001, had a new gearbox fitted in 1999. Have loads of MOT slips and work receipts from its uk life. Now on 69 D Reg.
I would love to just put it back together, lower it and drive as a rat, but I’ve had it for 7 years and I cant ever see me having the time to finish it. Meanwhile my bug is sitting out in the rain.
Interior layout has two ring gas cooker with fold out hood and stand for outdoors cooking. Easycool cooler cools by dripping water. Table with screw on leg. Bed is a ¾ width pull out drawer type thing.
If interested, PM me for my number and I’ll answer any questions on it. Riggsi (on here) did the work up the front end for me. Located in Laytown Co. Meath if someone wants to look at it. Stands me at about 4k on bits at the moment. I’d obviously like to recover as much of my money as possible. So any offers near to that would be nice.
