541 for sale

Post by DaveT »

Hi, we have been asked to advertise a 541 for sale. It is car no 43, original registration 832 HFM and has been in current ownership for at least 10 years. The car has a fresh MOT and is available for viewing near Birmingham. The asking price is £35000 or near offer. Please send me a PM if you would like the contact details.

the following description has been provided by the vendor

"As I said to you before, I've done, or had done, almost everything on the car and can provide a list of work done, photos and bills. Most recently it has been re-checked over, everything works, and I've had new wire wheels and tyres fitted.

I would class it as 90-95% complete and it runs well and reliably. I have recently been back and forth from the garage to get it MOT'd which is a 20 mile round trip. The garage owner has also driven the car quite a lot. He carried out all the work and would be happy to speak to potential buyers. He only works on classic cars and races TR5 and TR6's. His name is Mark Richards of MR Autos in Henley - 07547 379963 or 01564 794989. If someone wishes to speak to him, I would like to let him know, so he is expecting the call.


"

We have no personal interest in this sale and are simply helping an owner to pass his car on to the next responsible enthusiast to take it on.

thanks for looking

Sounds and looks a very nice honest car properly maintained, reasonably priced and in a good colour - apart from the awful steering wheel.

I think Mr. Toad needs his steering wheel back!

Easily fixed.
It still has its original Clayton servo and tacho drive dynamo.

It would have to be an early 541, possibly in the first 30 or less, due to the very useful fold down rear seat. Not sure what is going on with the boot lid, but might just be a wrong rubber seal. Dashboard looks pretty original apart from the warning lights. Not an easy rectification job as the enlarged holes have to be tig welded back up and re cut with the double D hole. (been there more than once. !!) Typical 70's wing mirrors that most cars were fitted to in those days.

Hi Mike, this is car no 43, so the 47th car made (4 prototypes). No 42, a very original and unspoilt car, also has the folding hinged rear seat back.

It looks very nice. Calver lists the original registration of 43 as XTC 3.
