Built 21.06.72
5 Owners
Even got the receipt for the 600mile service that cost 2.28...
and the new owner/delivery handbook
lotsa history with it...3 months MOT...
Zebarted both sides of floors...
amazingly solid and new looking underneath..
1600 twin 40 Dellorto Carbs
Lowered 1 spline front N rear...
Came with spare bonnet/wings/pass door
Ragtop Roof
Drilled front discs
fibreglass front wings
she will be undergoing a full respary in Savannh Beige very soon and I have managed to get a full length original roofrack too.
Ive purchased a set of black/silver porsche 2litre rep alloys gonna be shod with 165/50 front and 205/55 rear
the interior im leaving just a set of daft seat covers for now
with her being lowered 1 spline the tyre size should sit her nicely.

hello yes its just the one spline drop....! id go lower but with the roads being so sh*t and always taking the kids out its staying as it is and i think the stance looks spot on anyway + practicality!Hrvoje-ZD wrote:This one is nice Is it still lowered one spline at the front?!

okay after 3 weeks with the square sitting in my mates dry warm heated garage waiting for various parts re carbs, manifolds and filters its finally back on my drive!
and i found some chrome strips that i bought at volksworld and totally 4got to put em on!
so ive removed the twin 40 dellortos and got some nice 2ltr carbs..
managed to whack a good polish coat on too..

well took EARL the Grey Square over to Dubfreeze and covered 270 ish miles at an average speed of 60mph... was running in the newly set up 2litre carbs...
Earl performed faultlessly and i was pleased to see so many people taking pics of him at the show! Bet he felt like Paris Hilton gettin out a limo!!
really enjoyed the cruise the drive is so comfy...and we had 3 big blokes in it both ways!

theres no rubbing anywere and i believe its lowered a motch front and rear...it seems real low at the front may even be two notches...the horn under the front beam hits the odd bit of tarmac but hey its coolio!!
the wheels have not been used thru the winter at all and always washed and protected yet they show signs of peel and fading on the black colour...
still look cool tho!
