LOL It wasn't me im in lockdown, they are finding their way here on their own! 😀. Note its a Mk1 automatic. A very rare beast indeed these days most were converted by enthusiasts for their larger transmission tunnel.

Yes the interior is all very original and pristine. This example is unique and doubt you will see another like it in that condition here. It would be a shame if it ends up loosing all that to be modified.

I can assure everyone that this is one that won’t be getting modified in any way that can’t be put back to original spec easily.  The car comes with it’s original wheels and matching numbers motor.  The one in it is a 711 block which has been balanced and has the original 1300 head on it with a Webber carb, A bit of a cam, headers and  exhaust fabricated to suit and radiator renewed.  It also has central locking linked to an immobiliser and alarm.  All the brakes, fuel lines and suspension have all been replaced due to their age.  There was a modern head unit with CD changer and speakers in a custom made parcel shelf but these have been removed and the original radio and parcel shelf will be put back in.  There are a couple more little things to do before it goes in for its Australian roadworthy then club rego.  It has 112000 original k’s on it and the previous owner had for twenty years and an old lady in her seventies,had it from new and It has NO RUST anywhere.  I searched for years and looked at a lot of cars before stumbling on this one.  I even flew,to,Perth Western Australia which is a four hour flight to see what was a waste of time due to a seller whose description of immaculate certainly stretched the truth to a new level.  Thanks for the interest in it and I am glad to have secured one of the last unmodified cars on the planet.  Interesting fact, it’s tag date is 05 07 75 and has to be one oft he very last ones produced.  A coincidence is the i was born on the 05 of the 07 but not 75 unfortunately.  Sorry if I have rambled on a bit.
