if this isnt the right place for this, apologies and please move it, mods
I went to look at a 1959 series 2 109 with pick up cab/petrol, for sale. It is a much older restoration-- 1995 on a galv frame with engine rebuild.
Paint is a bit mismatched, and there is some tearing in the AL body, around the doors.
It has a capstan winch and PTO.
It hasnt been used/driven much since the resto. 2-3k miles, and long periods of sitting.
It was stored "indoors", but not in climate controlled conditions etc. There is now some rust, just above the door hinges [on the body], which is bubbling/cracking the paint and the screen hinges are very rusty. The heater doesnt seem to work [no fan] and there are quite a few other electrical issues.
There is a hoop, but no canvas, and some non stock "soft" top
It drives okay, with a bit of a misfire. the muffler is blowing, although it is supposed to be stainless. First gear has a very loud whine-- is that because it is straight cut, or it might be an issue? It has a solex carb.
the cab top is dinged/bumpy.
it looks better in the photos than in person.
I know it's tricky, but any ideas of its "ball park" value, comments, advice etc, very much appreciated.
Thanks!
