Subject: Re: 1937 LG45 dhc for sale
Hi Simon,
It does look quite a nice car. 37,511 miles on the clock. I wonder if that's correct? One or two things to look at.
The leather looks new but appears to be well done. The door pull strap is in the wrong place but that's a minor detail. Not sure what all that extra chrome is by the pocket in the door - some sort of extra security I imagine?
It does look quite low at the back which suggests the springs need retempering.
As Peter commented the air silencer is missing. Not sure why that horn is on the bulkhead. That is a horn (the red thing)? The jack oil tank appears to be missing also the shock absorber spill valve (the two holes on the bulkhead below the fuel pipe). This would suggest the jacks are missing and the luvax shocks too. The jacks are replaceable (the club has some) should you wish to replace them but the luvax shocks would be much harder to find.
Check the doors for fit. If they have dropped or scape on the sill or front post the likely cause is the hinge post (B post) is rotting. Have a look underneath - the bottom end of the B post is exposed so you can see if there is rot. They tend to rot from the bottom up.
