Quick breakdown on what’s included and what’s to be finished.

8 Cylinder B80 Engine rebuilt by MOD 

MK6 Bentley gearbox manual 4 speed 

Mk6 starter motor 

Mk6 clutch cover (no clutch fitted onto the engine)

Steering column and box 20/25 rolls 

Mk6 Bentley ID, Full v5 in my name 

Full Syd Lawrence body including: 

Front cowling 

Bonnet top

Bonnet sides

Bonnet landings

Bonnet straps 

Lovely aluminium bulkhead 

Body tub 

Toe board 

Lovely vintage bentley seats 

Rear floor pan with extinguisher holder 

Full set of mudguards 

2x Aero screens and cowlings 

Big deep aluminium radiator to fit the cowling

From the top of my head the work to be completed:

Exhaust 

Inlet manifold 

Carburateurs 

Distributer, leads etc 

Propshaft 

Clutch plate 

Pedals (most likely hydraulic brakes and mechanical clutch pedal)

Throttle linkages 

New suspension pins, possibly new bushes too, new front springs as a couple of leafs had snapped so I took them out 

Fitting the body finalising it all 

Front cowling finalising fitting 

Radiator and plumbing

Headlamps and associated brackets 

Floor pan and seats to fit 

Gear lever mechanism making work on the outside 

Fuel tank and pump pipes etc 

Spare wheel fitting rear 

Rear tyres good but front need changing for road use

Dashboard is there but instruments needed

Wiring for dash, lights, fuel pump, engine etc etc 

Mudguard brackets finalising 

Depending on what you’re doing with the brakes, hydraulic or if just leaving standard would need converting or just going over and mechanisms for the cable operated brakes sorting, I have the compensation shaft for this but never put it back in

Due to imminent baby arrival I won’t have the time for some projects so some are for sale.
