Sylva Leader, Essex, £1800/offers?
Hi all, (firstly, More images are available here
Model: Sylva Leader
Year: 1985
Mileage: I believe it's done around 7k miles since the engine re-build but I put some new clocks in which read 90k (I'll confirm
all this if there's interest. I still have the original clocks too).
Tax: 6 months tax from this month
MOT: 12 months from this month
Location: Essex - near Colchester
Price: £1800 or offers
Contact details: enwods@gmail.com, or 07792067152
(the trailer you see the yellow body on is also for sale and fits the Sylva perfectly - insulting offers on this please?)
Basic spec:
-1600 Crossflow (making around 120+bhp as a rough estimate).
- 4-speed Capri gearbox.
-1300 pistons, 10.5:1 compression ratio,
- Lightened and balanced bottom end
- Ported and polished head
- Large Mexico valves,
- Steel rocker gear
- 3/4 race camshaft,
- Twin 40 Dellortos,
- Bestek Electronic ignition
- Four branch manifold into fully stainless side-exit exhaust (Heat shield is included but 4 spot welds on the bracket snapped and I haven't
had the time to weld it back on yet).
- Polo radiator
- x4 4-spoke Revolution wheels
- Very Good Yokohama tyres on front and good Hankooks on the rears both with miles of tread.
All engineering work was performed by Fourways engineering in Kent
This is up for sale, simply because I only ever get it out when it's sunny and can't really justify having 2 cars  even though it is a
barrel of laughs and never fails to put a smile on my face.
It recently flew through its MOT and has been taxed for 6 months (so has 12 months left on the MOT and 6 left on the Tax at time of writing). There
advisories for some minor play in a few of the rubbers but it's nothing at all major and it's an incredibly tidy car.
It's been well looked after and has come a long way from how it was when we picked it up
The below pictures were taken a month or so ago and it's pretty similar looking now (I've now fitted the silver mesh grille you see in one
of the pictures, rather than the black one you can see). I've tidied the wiring loom since those picture and re-wrapped the majority of it
alongside some other lil bits and pieces. I will get some up-to date pictures when I'm not working - Thursday).
Basically, it's a very tidy car, starts on the button although the bodywork does have some crazing, which you'd expect for a car of its
age but overall it's in pretty damn good condition.
I'm located in Essex, near Colchester if you want to view it then send me a PM on here or e-mail me at: enwods@gmail.com or call on 07792067152
(I work shifts so may not be able to answer but will call back).
As a side note, I've also got a spare, yellow, Chevette 400 body that I can either include with the car or you can buy seperately if you want.
I've also got 2 doors, each with glass and hinges for this too, although no hood.
Enough of the wall of text, here's the pics:
Pics of the yellow shell I have laying around (Not in the best condition as it's been outside but would clean up nicely (I can do this if you
want?)
Any questions - please ask and I'll answer honestly.
If you have a tidy MX5 - I may be willing to P/X, plus money for it too 
PS The trailer is also for sale fits the kit nice and snugly with a pair of rams £250

Bump
BUMP!
Trailer and yellow body shell are also available in case anyone didn't realise.
The trailer fits the Sylva Snugly and can be included with the sale if needed. It also comes with a spare set of rims. Needs a coat of paint but I can
possibly do this if needed/may end up doing it this weekend anyway. It's not braked but has the drums and braked hitch - I think it just needs
some brake-lines.
Cheers.

Sorry, and the mark was from using a metal blade to clean some of the coke from the head. Managed to scratch some of the surface deposits off the
exhaust valve by accident during the process, no damage to the valve though and it still seats fine. These pictures were taken after taking the head
off due to a blowing gasket and is now much cleaner inside.
