Servo is not a worry, they are available new.
Fitting twin carbs is also easy if you want to.
Usual rust on the front wings (leading edge and trailing edge where the spot welds are).

One odd thing, the oil filler is at the front of the engine - like a Super Minx. This might mean an iron head engine - I thought all Alpines would have the alloy head, but I'm not sure about that. If it's iron head then twin carbs won't fit - you have the put the alloy head on first.

Good spot there: holes for bolts/screws are in different place, so looks like it is CI head on there. Didn't sell!
