Had a call from a friend the other day .... a guy he knows was looking to get rid of his 145 "free to a good home".

Turns out it's a genuine 1968 145S, which he purchased 2nd hand in 1971 with 40,000 miles on it. At 180,000 miles the B18 was removed, & replaced with a B21 (mounted vertically I gather, using the B18 sump & mated to the original M40 box). It has also had a custom inlet manifold made for it, to mount the twin SUs. Now has 280,000 miles on it, and was in regular use until parked up about 18 months ago.

I haven't seen it yet, but apparently it has no rust of any consequence - and all it needs to get it mobile is a battery, an alternator bracket, and the bush/mount where the clutch cable goes through the firewall ....

I don't know how many 1968 145S's made it to Australia, but seeing there were only 9000-odd built worldwide it must be a pretty rare thing over here. How could I say no ? :o)

Just have to arrange a trailer & go pick it up one night next week. Will post some pictures when I get it home.
