LCX 370E was registered in May 1967 with Appleyards dealership in Bradford. The car has been re commissioned by its former keeper after nearly 30 years of sitting in a garage.
For some reason LCX 370E was taken off the road and an attempt at a V8 conversion followed. Luckily this failed and the original engine, 4 speed non overdrive gearbox and axle were re-installed. This had however led to various sections of the centre tunnel being cut away and altered.
The car then fell into the hands of a man who took it as payment for work on the deceased owner's property. He then set about getting the vehicle running and carrying our various body repairs. The current keepers bought the vehicle from this man and applied for the replacement V5C from DVLA. Sadly, all other documentation for the car had been destroyed.
The damaged centre tunnel was replaced along with any other body work requiring attention. The windscreen was replaced and the car was repainted in BMW MINI 'Off White'. The homemade bright red and cream vinyl interior was replaced with black leather with white piping. The seats were refurnished with new diaphragms along with a custom black vinyl headlining and new carpet set. Door panels front and rear have been replaced along with a freshly trimmed dash and correct period steering wheel.
Other recent works include a full engine strip and check with the head receiving an unleaded conversion, skim gasket etc along with a thermostat and housing. Refurbished front Armstrong shock absorbers and the fitting of a dynamotor.
LCX 370E is sold with a file containing photographs of the re-paint in 2017, previous MOT Certificate, Heritage Certificate showing the original engine number etc. HPI Report, various invoices and spares - including an indoor car cover.
The current owners chose to re-paint and re-trim the vehicle in their choice of colour as the intention was to keep the car, however circumstances have changed and the guide price is set to reflect this and also the finishing touches required.
The doors require adjustment since the re-paint, speedometer and rev counter stopped working when the dynameter was fitted, sun visors need sourcing and other small details.
The previous MOT was passed in September 2017 with no advisories and the car has since had the engine overhaul and covered less than 100 miles.
