A little extra information copy pasted from a reply to a pm.
The vehicle was acquired by me 10/04/2004 from a gentleman in Perth with the K-series installed, I'm afraid I've never been able to find out who did the conversion or when and why and the Midas owners club was never particularly responsive with me when I tried to join and inquire; but whoever it was did a fairly poor job as the engine was severely twisted in its mountings; hence the refit with the new sub frames.
Date of build and first registration is 18/10/1994
The vehicle has been stored on the drive, and covered for some of that time but not the majority however she is water tight so the only thing that has gotten to the interior is the odd spider and adventurous snail.
The soft top is intact with no tears.
The hard top was in good condition when i last used it but i was never a fan of it so it has been in the shed for the most part. By 'rhomb covers' i'm assuming you mean on the sides? Those came with the vehicle as it doesn't have the vents that were supposed to be there, they are effectively little plastic/rubber covers bolted on with sealant around the sides, and the main reason I wasn't a fan of it.
Vehicle is in my name with registration certificate and has had 7 former keepers, comes with the build manual, a few extra diagrams of electrical system layouts, and assortment of mot certificates and garage receipts(including the last mot failure report) and a Haynes service and repair manual for the engine.
