1.65 x R4's for sale

[HowardV]

Sadly owing to lack of time and space I would like to dispose of my remaining R4 interest.

1985 'C' reg R4 GTL (front discs) mid blue colour 50000 miles.
Has been on my drive for 10 years. Engine turns over with battery OK but does not fire. Needs tlc and at least 4 new tyres. Needs new rear window but I have a spare - see below.

I've also got most of a 1980 GTL. Engine, doors, wings (dark blue), glass, seats, starter, gearbox, wheels, dashboard, trim etc, etc. This one had failed it's MOT because of body rust.

All located in South West London.

Ideally I would like someone to take it all away and offer me £250 in return. Any takers?

Dear Michael,
Glad you got it going, I'm rea
lly pleased - and I'd love to see some pictures.
The small stickers on the windscreen are Swiss Motorway tax stickers. Everyone (including the Swiss) needs this to travel legally on their motorway network. They are valid for a year and used to cost about £30. I took the van to Graz in Austria and to Monte Carlo over the alps + various other visits to Europe very good luck with your trips!

Yours,

Howard

Ade- The wing panels were replacement but are probably too tatty. The doors I think are rusted at the bottoms and the bumpers unfortunately do have some holes. I think what I will do is have a "parts open day" in the very near future and you could come and look for yourself as you are very near. The engine has been static for 10 years although under cover.

Yours Howard
