Title: Wanting to buy 75 2ltr twin spark- any tips at inspection time.
Post by: lombardi on July 11, 2014, 08:21:56 AM
What should i in particular look for when inspecting to purchase 75 twin spark, apart from the usual traps associated with purchasing a 2nd hand old car with i guess guaranteed high mileage.

Having just purchased a 75 twin spark i would recommend the following:

check rear brake disc and pad thickness, fluid leaks at the rear calipers, handbrake function
prop shaft vibration (with car stationary, rev it)
fit of plastic trim (theres lots!)

test drive and check for the ususal:
syncros
clutch
steering neutral
brake test

ask for records of the service history
