Upon introduction, the 1600 FD came as standard with bench and 3 speed column. 4 speed was optional and came on the floor, individual seats were standard in the 2000 version (but still only a three on the tree unless you went 4 speed) and optional on the 1600. This car is a 1600.

Regardless, all cars came with the umbrella handbrake and only the VX4/90 got proper handbrakes.

Another one to drive around thankful it's MOT exempt. Perfect ULEZ or local equivalent beater to run around in a city with. Bit more than I'd want to pay for one in this condition though. Mix and match of the wrong interior door handles for the year (iirc) but the correct-ish dash. Might be a bit of an old ringer maybe.

That doesn't look much worse than they did back in the day......! Reversing lights came in during '67 I think, everything else looks kosher so I reckon it has simply had later doors - judging by the quarter light catches as well of course as those door handles.

Not my thing but this looks in very good nick and rare to have it original. Pretty sure this will be bought by a white room seller, given a really good polish and then sold for £lol more than what they paid.

Link worked OK for me (but I'm not on a phone if that makes any difference). Yes, Riley One-Point-Five, quite a late one too.

Just noticed this forum puts some bollocks Viglink website tracking shit on all links.

Why the fuck did you add that Hooli? Surely of all people wouldn't want advertising corporations harvesting data from this site.
