Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1959 classic car, first registered in the UK in 1960, underwent a bare metal restoration in the 1990s. It features desirable options like factory overdrive, comes with complete documentation, and has been enjoyed for summer tours, with the last owner since 2004.

Condition
6
The car had a bare metal restoration in the 1990s, which suggests a significant effort to maintain its condition. However, being restored 30 years ago indicates that the quality of the restoration and how the car has aged since then are important factors. The car has had five owners and the last owner owned it since 2004. The recorded mileage of 75,598 is a moderate amount for a car of this age, suggesting it has been used but not excessively. The presence of original handbooks, certificates, receipts, and spare keys adds value and suggests careful ownership. The vendor describes it as a lovely car used for tours during sunny months. It has optional factory overdrive, plus a high beam lamp and fog lamp.
