"Monti" ( my new addiction

Click image to enlarge

As I may have mentioned a while ago, I am now the besotted owner of a 1968 S11a called Monti.
Monti is currently a 77000 mile SWB utility in bronze green.

My aim is to restore her to original (Or Near ) condition BUT change the colour and roof.

I have started the process in the engine bay as it was making my skin itch.

The engine was in reasonably good order so has just had a bit of tinkering and setting up done.

I,m chuffed to bits with the result.
I already have a new wiring loom along with period battery and new clutch/brake resi.
She is getting the new tilt and sticks treatment at the weekend, weather permitting.

great little car and really fun project. "Of Course, Of course, I ain't asking . I'm telling!!"

Looks great, what have you replaced under the engine, I can spot all the pipes...


I'd me tempted to leave the roof on until winter has gone then swap Smile


(I want hood sticks and roof for mine) who will you get them from?

Looks great, I have all this to look forward to. Also 1968, bought in May and it’s still sitting where I found it. Need to get my finger out soon.
