I purchased my 1973 +2 130/5 in 2014 from my brother as a recommissioning project. He had owned the car since 1992 and only covered about 1000 miles. Since 1992 the car has always been stored in a dry garage and never been used in the rain. Since finishing the car in April this year I have covered about 250 miles.
Since I have owned the car I have completed the following work:
BODY:
The car still retained its original chassis which had beed repaired in the front turrets but was cracked in several places. I obtained an LR chassis from a forum member which had been painted with hammerite from new, and therefore in good condition. I cleaned the chassis of any loose paint and then gave it one coat of 'Aquasteel' one coat of red primer and two coats of smooth hammerite. The chassis is totally rust free. The vacuum solenoid has been replaced so the headlights stay down for weeks.
New Spyder galvanised sill members.
The bodyshell was in excellent condition with no crazing or cracking. The paint from a 1980's respray was stable so I gave it a light sanding then cellulose primer and top coat in Gentian blue. The roof is silver glitter, fitted with a Tudor Webasto sliding roof in blue vinyl.
The windscreen is a new laminated Sundym top tint from Sue Miller.
The boot has been carpeted in black with a hard cover over the floor.
New door locks.
