Hello, I have a Y reg Strada 105 TC for sale. The car was bought by a friend of mine back in 1997 when we were both students in the UK.I think the car back then had around 20k on the clock and belonged to an old lady. My friend brought the car back with him in Greece when he finished his studies in July 1998. Since then (or a year or so later) the car was parked (covered) in a dry basement. During that year the car received a paintjob to its original colour just before its storage for 13 years.The car was getting started every 3-4 months for all these years. The last odometer reading (which is what it shows now) is 32978 miles.The mileage is original I bought the car from him since he did not want it anymore and I am planning to drive it back to the UK to sell it if there is enough interest.Its V5 is available. In order to be able to travel through Europe, I have made all the necessary repairs and servicing which are:
Timing belt and roller and v shaped belt
Cylinder head gasket (it also underwent cylinder head repairs such as cleaning, new oil seals for the camshafts, new valve oil seals and vlave adjustments)
Water pump and flexible pipes.The two metal pipes were cleaned and examined for rust and only the top one needed some welding.
Coolant reservoir and tap
Thermostat
Oil breather pipes
The radiator was stripped, cleaned and repaired
Obviously the spark plugs were changed along with oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and gearbox oil
A full gasket set was bought and any gasket that needed to be changed is now changed.
Flexible fuel lines
All 4 brake pipes were changed along with front pads.Rear drums were cleaned and checked.
Front wishbones changed since their bushes were gone (old wishbones will travel back to the UK in the boot) and also the track rods bushes were changed.
Rear wishbones bushes (all 8) were changed, too.
4 new Vredestein Si 185/60 14 on its original wheels which were refurbished and repainted (all 5) and a used spare fitted.
The carburator was cleaned, adjusted and all gaskets and pumps changed.
Exhaust hangers were all changed
The body of the car is almost immaculate apart from a tiny rust spot on the drivers side sill just behind the front wing connection which will be repaired before departure since I want to make sure to pass the MOT as soon as I arrive.Also, it seems that rear wheel arches were changed when the car was repainted in 1999.
The interior (seats, carpets,door panels, dashboard and headlining) is as new.
The only two parts that are missing from the car are:
One center hubcap (lost somewhere in Italy back in 1998)
The left cover of the passenger seat at the reclining point.
I will try to find at least the seat part.
If somebody is interested please email me at [email protected].
I will try to send photographs of the car ASAP, which were taken just before the repairs were started (Actually from the exterior nothing was repaired apart from the wheels and the front fog lights which are currently restored)
