Hi All,here is my 1979 120 Ls,basically got this from a friend of mine after much persuasion , car was in his possession only for a year where it belonged to a guy who restored it but never finished it due to a short illness and passing away twelve years ago,car was left in a garage for 11 years ago before my friend rescued it as it was going for scrap,the minute I saw it I wanted it and after a year's persuasion it is sitting at my garage ... Basically the car was dismantled into pieces and all was restored ... All I did was strip it down lightly again and gave it a new cot of paint and a tidy up since the previous owner had painted a nasty red stripe along the side,car is non original ( it's a Favorit shade,4335,aqua blue ) but I love it ... Car almost ready for the road.Took it for a short spin yesterday but will give the necessary attention to the brakes,a good service etc,etc ... Enjoy the pics ...

How I got the car .

Almost ready ..

Fantastic, reminds me of my early 120 in russet brown. Enjoy

Beautiful! My grandfather's brother used have one of these. God I loved that car when I was a kid. I mean, big, loud and shiny. What else does a five year old need?

Cool. Glad you lost the red stripe!

How's it like to drive?

That's a really sweet little 120. I agree the removal of the red stripe was the right choice

At the moment it's quite scary ... Even though everything up front has been overhauled there's terrible free play in the steering department ... Am working to convert car to a rack system , just got my self a narrow rack axle and pedal assembly so off it goes next .. Engine wise the current one has a slight misfire which I'll fix soon and the exhaust is blowing , working like an old beetle and since fitting 65 profile tyres speedo is being rather optimistic , it's over reading quite badly , reading 60 mph in reality is 35 - 40 max so if we judge 0-60 from the speedo it's as quick as a Ferrari 458 italia :giggle: :giggle:

Cool. Glad you lost the red stripe!
