PXS 897 - "Slack Alice" Simon - 08-08-2022
PXS 897 Box Saloon
My neighbour is showing an interest in this car, which is offered for sale by a dealer.
If anyone knows of this car, could they PM comments to me, please.
Thanks
Simon

Once again Simon, the vital importance of having the original registration number would help, I could be wrong but it looks like an age related number.
I certainly don’t remember seeing a box with that number, it’s pretty distinctive...

I’ll stick my head above the parapet then, in the hope that I won’t get my head blown off!
The photographs appear to show a pretty solid car, with a straight body.
Items which require attention, apart from the cosmetics, such as the ventilators, which should be painted, the lack of the painted inner section of the radiator cowling and the Austin script being in the wrong place, the interior trim should have leather facings, the door pockets are missing and the headlining, particularly around the sunshine roof needs sorting out.
All these items, together with the loss of the original registration number, adversely effect its value.
If the buyer isn’t worried and just wants a Seven to drive, then get haggling!

It would be prudent to check the door and A-pillar condition, both doors seem to droop at the rear.

What bits are they Ivor?
RE: PXS 897 - Reckless Rat - 08-08-2022
Not bits, Hedd, he means the swaged inner moulding to the chrome rad surround (facing the front). It should be painted black, not chrome.
