I’ve had a 1984 B reg series 2 Gamma Coupe sitting in a lock-up for far too long and it now needs to go, by the end of March at the latest. If anybody wants to take it away it is located in the Grantham area. The bad news is that the tyres are flat and the brakes probably seized, so it would need dragging out of the lock-up and onto a trailer.
The driver’s door is rusted out at the bottom and she driver’s side front wing is also badly rusted, the near side I would have to check on. The driver’s seat has torn fabric on the seat, otherwise the blue cloth interior is in fair condition. The engine was running on 3 cylinders when it was put in the lock-up, and I recall the cams being worn. Good points are that it was modified to run the power steering pump from the crankshaft, it has the plastic liners for the front wheel arches and a stainless steel exhaust.
Also in the lock-up and to go with the car are a set of series 1 wheels, a series 1 carburettor, manifold and air filter case, a bronze bootlid, a gearbox, diff, driveshafts and front hubs. There may be a spare steering rack and a few other parts in the lock-up as well, I would need to check.
At home I’ve also got numerous struts and springs, at least one of which have been sandblasted and finished in primer, a spare rear screen and a tow bar.
As an alternative to taking the complete car, if somebody wants to break it for spares in-situ that maybe a possibility, but a £50/month payment for the lock-up rent would be needed if this were to continue beyond the end of March.
Some photographs are available.
If nobody is interested I’ll arrange for a local scrap dealer to remove the car and lock-up contents.
I also have many spares in my garage at home, which I am happy to negotiate on. These include a clean crankcase with alternative main bearings shells that have been part modified. Additional unmodified bearing shells, I think enough for three engines. Three engine gasket sets, 2 new clutch cables, 2 re-metalled cams, 4 new liners and pistons and 3 new piston ring sets. At least 1 brake calliper and some calliper repair kits, pads. Numerous used cylinder heads and a crank case with crankshaft. A couple of cream door boards. Some suspension components and undershields that have been sandblasted and finished in primer, and a couple of glassfibre shields. A new series 2 air filter. Lots of odds and ends, including some bits from toolkits, owner’s manuals and maintenance information. If there is an interest I’ll post a list.
