Quite a nice looking Lunar Grey 72 Auto with PAS on Ebay, which warrants a proper dose of looking at.

Could be a good car, although it always makes me suspicious when someone can't make it through an ebay listing without a barrage of spelling errors. The 'Fortune Spent' all seems to be general repair items rather than any real restoration and improvement, but no matter. I do wonder if the caravan in the background is a hobby.... or a home.
 
Are new servos usually black?

I would want mine yellow pasivated as per original.

Look at the handbrake to see how well that was done.....

Wait... You mean it's not meant to point towards the roof? :LOL:

And I agree about that brake servo Richard, I reckon it has the definite look of a slap of paint over some crustiness.

Viagra in the handbrake, not a good sign. I can just feel that iffy brake pedal now......... :eek:
 
I don't remember Lunar Grey being available that early either, ISTR it came in a bit later than anything that would be tax exempt, although I'm sure that the number crunchers will set me straight if my memory has failed me. :?

Lunar Grey was new in October 1972 for the 1973 model year. You CAN get a tax free Lunar Grey car, but there aren't many (we broke a 2000TC last year that fell into that bracket, they are out there).
