shinysideup Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 SEIW first registered July 1991 Vulcan X-flow 1700 with Kent 234 camshaft / twin 40 dcoe Webers ~19500 miles (based on last MOT) This car has been a much loved member of the family since 2003, however after embarking on a project to bring it up to date and clean up wear and tear on the shell with a view to potentially converting for track use, I’ve run out of time and would love to find a new owner who will enjoy it out on the road. The car is currently SORNed after being in a body shop for an inordinate amount of time (I told the guy not to hurry, he didn’t!) - it will need a little bit of work to get it on the road and will need to be collected by trailer. More details on this below. Nonetheless, it started first time when I took it out for photos today and sounded gorgeous as always! I have also kept a pile of original documentation and a number of old parts including the original doors and some spare items which would all be included in the sale. Updates / New Items - all either brand new or with very light usage - Complete shell renovation/ respray - Engine bay clean up and paint to match - Removed all pop studs for doors, tonneau (could be re-done) - Dazzle camouflage decals (should peel off if you hate them!) - Team Dynamics wheels with R888R tyres (+ spare) and locking wheel nuts - - (Note there is no spare wheel carrier - the larger wheels are too heavy to mount on the rear) - Updated dash with new instrument panel & Smiths OLED multifunction speedo/gauges - Momo steering wheel with momentary switches for indicators - Motorbike style inertial indicator control box (auto cancelation) - Immobiliser - New clutch (~250 miles max) - New K&N air filters - New headlights - New Willans harnesses - New carpets, gaiters, pads on the door sills - New windscreen & mirrors - New bonnet spring clips - New fuel pump - New filler cap - New widened front arches - New radiator fan - New LED rear clusters - New battery - New front grille Outstanding items: Switchgear and wiring to rear lights needs attention (wasn’t connected up properly after bodyshop) Smiths speedo relies on magnets on the prop shaft - my epoxy didn’t hold, needs new magnets and calibration Original seat pads still present but have been painted black - I never quite decided whether to put proper seats in or refresh the seat covers. (Floor is not predrilled for seats which could be a bonus!) Tracking needs sorting after the bodyshop - its drivable but steering is very heavy. Will need MOT to get back on the road (after speedo, rear lights and tracking sorted) As you can see, quite a lot has been spent bringing everything up to date and ensuring the car lasts quite a few more years. I'm looking for £7500 - please feel free to PM any questions. Thanks! IMG_4978_small.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
