Unfortunately, my cherished 75 2lt TSpark failed it's MOT test yesterday.
The car _looks_ OK, but underneath needs some work.
The list is as follows:
Both rear arches corroded where the meet the sills Offside front lower arm mounts NSR coil spring snapped One tyre is cut to the cord, but I have a spare in the garage.
Those jobs *have* to be done to get her roadworthy.
We also had 'advisories' on the following:
Front floorpans need plating
The rear arches, especially nearside rear could do with work under the plastic trim.
However, the engine is sound (serviced within the last 500 miles) The gearbox was expensively rebuilt last year New clutch within the last 10k miles.
These pictures were taken a while ago, I don't have any current ones, but when she's cleaned and polished she still looks pretty much like this:
If anyone feels they can rescue her, she's located in Ystrad Mynach (1/2 hour from the Servern Bridge) and I'm open to offers. The engine and box are worth having at least, as is the interior which is very clean and tidy.
The current MOT runs out in 3 weeks, so she can be driven away currently
- although I'd be very careful due to the snapped spring.
She's not a basket case, far from it, if someone with a bit of time were to get out the welding kit an MOT could be had in an afternoon - I neither have the time or the knowledge to do it.
I hope someone can get her back on the road.
I'd do it myself, only we picked up a bargain 156 TSpark on Monday.
