Why it matters: The classic upright British sports car, light and simple, with a fold-flat windscreen, separate wings and a fly-off handbrake.
Check first
- Assume the ash frame has been rebuilt at some point, and judge how well. Rot is most common in the lower longitudinal rails and the uprights at the base of the scuttle.
- XPAG and XPEG units are generally robust. Over-revved TA engines are the exception.
- First gear whine is normal. Crunching into second or third, or jumping out on the overrun, means wear.
