KA LA 13 23815 Bought in Luton in 1977 (replacement for KAAB/17664) for £120 and used regularly until the mid '80s when a combination of mechanical and rot in the usual places obliged me to abandon it in a Welsh barn when I got a job London. The Pembrokeshire weather has not been kind to it and sadly and to my shame it is now unrecoverable. Jeremy Woolley, London |

10627 |
KA A 13 10627 This particular car has had only two owners from new and has been in the current ownership since 1978. These upgrades include the fitment of a more powerful ZB engine; front disc brakes; Spax shock absorbers; halogen headlamps; indicators rather than trafficators; generator to alternator conversion and the fitment of a stainless steel exhaust. It has also been fitted with a sophisticated Tracker anti-theft system with a lifetime subscription. So if it ever does get stolen, the police will always be able to find it via the magic of satellite tracking technology – whatever would Palmer have made of that! |

KA J 13 25173 This is my current ZB which I bought at the Silverstone International in 2001. I have thoroughly checked it over mechanically and fitted a 4.3 diff for the long drives. Otherwise the car is very original and has only 48,500 miles on the clock. I believe this may be accurate in view of the lack of wear on the mechanical parts.

KA BA 13 25426
Registered September 1957 in Surrey. Birch Grey/Black.
Having done some research on this car, it has had homes in Surrey, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, London, Kent and Hampshire. In the early 80s, it was fitted with a 3 brg 1800 engine and O/D 3 syncho box.
We acquired it in late 2015, after it had been repainted, in Old English White and a Chevrolet colour, and have been using it whilst improving items as we’ve gone along ( a kind of rolling restoration). There have been some additions of period style modifications, using modern equivalents. |
