Anyone out there looking for a big shiny green xmas present?

The pending restoration of our '67 Dormobile means that I need to sell our '69 KG

Imported from California in 1992 & underwent full retsoration.
1776 Laurie Pettit Hand-built engine with Twin Weber 36IDA Carbs.

Early 90s work:
• Professional beadblasting of body shell, application of stonechip to underside, full interior & exterior respray and oven bake.
• Waxoyled throughout
• Overhaul of Brakes – new flexi hoses, brakepipes, master cylinder seals and rear wheel cylinders.
• Suspension lowered 2” all round
• Suspension bushes and gear box mounts replaced with Urethane items
• New shock absorbers all round
• All rubber seals replaced
• Recaro front seats fitted and all seats re-trimmed in grey leather.
• Interior cards replaced and trimmed in grey leather and green vinyl
• New headlining and wool carpets
• Installation of radio cassette and 4 way speaker set.
• Chrome & Green Alloy wheels fitted


Since the restoration maintenance has included:
• Laurie Pettit engine fitted
• 1776 pistons and barrels, lightened flywheel and crank (8 dowel)
• twin weber 36IDA carbs with K&N filters
• kennedy clutch, 120 deg road cam, moly push rods, new 044 cylinder heads with stronger valve springs
• 1.2:1 ratio rockers
• full flow oil system with remote filter and cooler, oil temp gauge
• Gearbox rebuilt with new bearings and seals – 2004
• Replaced starter motor – 2004
• New front brake discs, calipers & pads and New rear brake shoes – 2004
• All tyres replaced – 2005
• New quiet pack exhaust built and fitted - 2006
• Battery replaced – 2007
• Nose cone and front bumper re-spray


The bad bits:
• Reverse gate in gearbox not working (Don’t worry, I did it once and have been VERY careful since then!)
• Small scrape (about 15mm) to paint on nearside front wheel arch.
• No arial in the stereo so you’ve got to play tapes, or use an MP3 adapter.

As usual, £1000's spent, but I think £6,500 is a fair price.

Call me on 07785 71 00 94 if you want a look.

Cheers,

Luke.
