The wheels appear to be the original five spoke alloys and the tyres look ok, our team put air in the tyres in February when it was transported from the garage of one of our house clearances where the car looks like it had been stored for quite a while and they still hold air. The engine bay looks fairly clean and the Truimph engine doesn't show any major rust or major oil leaks, we haven't tried to start the engine but it turns on a spanner, there are signs of fairly recent service parts, the fuel filter looks new, hose clips look new. The stromberg carburetters look like they have been cleaned and the Lucas ignition, battery (although flat) and HT leads look very recent. The boot contains an array of spare parts mostly still in their original boxesCondition Report At a polite glance a little brown and flakey. Being serious it does show signs of rust and pitting but I could'nt see any holes although I have'nt tested to see if it willhole. The rear bushes are very degraded too
