Spinkys 412 le Squareback!!

Post by spinky » 3rd February 2005 - 2:07pm

SPINKY S 412 LE Square BACK.

Date of registration: 01/06/1973
Registration No: JKN 262L
Chassis No: 4632024358 ??
Engine No: unknown at this point (i think it has been replaced by a sedan engine, the dipstick and oil filler bits are nt in the right place)
Colour: Gold

Current Condition: Well, its completely stock, has a couple of blobs of rust, one on the sunroof, and one on the bonnet, underside seems to be in decent condition ( who knows what lurks under the underseal!), the petrol heater is disconnected, the auto box is knackered ( having problems with replacement), small other bits like window winding mechanism on drivers side a bit wonky, its running on dual carbs (trying to source EFi), the dash could be tidied up, and the paint is a little sad.

I think i am the 3rd or 4 th owner since new ( well registered ones anyway). Hopefully, if time and finances allow, the car will eventually get back some of its dignity!!

I ve no photos at the moment, but i will strive to put some on here.
SPINKY :)

Are you on tax-exempt with that car, Spinky. If not, can you give me the numbers on the 3" x 1/2" painted plate on the front cross panel please. Like 12-3-4567.

Dave.
