'63 1500, '63 1500, '64 1500, '69 2000, and '70 1600 owned by Gary Lasater.
'63 1500 This is one of the first 300 Roadsters imported into
America. With a single SU carb and a 3rd seat, Gary's '63 provides us
with the broadest range of roadsters in a single club!
'69 2000 Gary sez: ...with the
removal of a gazillion leaves and layers of grease off the engine, a
new battery, oil change, antifreeze, gas....and ....VAROOM. The beast
CAME ALIVE. Runs like a champ. Everything but the tach works, has
extra electric cooling fan (that works) electric fuel pump and runs
out WAY FUN. Will have some major rocker panel rust removal and
replacements. Need to replace the top back windows. HEY - FOR FREE,
who's complaining! After pics. As of May 2003, the engine's
been beautifully rebuilt, and the car is in the body shop getting
slicked up and painted!!
(note: same car, same color, different
camera's. I would say the most 'correct' color is the red (above))
'70 1600 Before and After pics:
Gary says this is an early 1963 and he thinks the earliest production serial number - the 73rd one produced according to research!
Gary's latest acquisition, towed home from Pennsylvania!
