Front drums? That means it's a Type 1. That's actually quite rare.
Was thinking the same, must be worth £400
I agree. That would make a very nice show-car if it was restored. Being a type 1 it's got to be an X or Y on the 1962 to 1983 reg system.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I misread and thought they were trying to charge 400 smackers for that dodgy roof thing - not the 410...
I did think about trying to make a giant "LOL" out of them, bit I was just too darn lazy...
