Its history
Dad bought LD32036 at auction in 1981, and it's been in the family ever since. Matching-numbers 3.0 V8 with the Borg-Warner auto, originally Mimosa Yellow with the original Chestnut interior. A Croydon mechanic who'd done his apprenticeship with Leyland rebuilt the engine straight away, and it was rebuilt again about 100,000 km later. After a scrape it was repainted, colour-matched to a Ford yellow.
Dad handed it to me in 2015, in time to be our wedding car, and from 2017 to 2020 it was my daily driver. In 2018 my wife and I won the Moama Historic Vehicle Club car rally in it.
It overheated in the border queue during COVID and has been off the road since: low compression in one cylinder and coolant in the valley. The water pump seal and intake gaskets are done, the head studs are loosened, and the heads are next. Every factory part that's come off has been kept.
Modifications: 14x7.5 Globe wheels (Jan 2018) on 225/60/14 BF Goodrich T/As, TR6 chin spoiler, keyless entry with alarm, Bluetooth stereo, tint. Fitted by Dad: HID headlights, 12-vane water pump, Volvo header tank. I added a second filler on the radiator return hose. Towbar likely came with the car. Hardtop kept on; the soft top frame needs replacing (spare frame on hand).
