The interior presents very well, with the headlining in good condition and the seats clean and tidy.

This example has been the subject of significant recent mechanical refurbishment under the vendor’s ownership.

The engine has been overhauled and now benefits from new carburettors, a new clutch, new brakes, and a modern electric fuel pump.

A new CV joint driveshaft conversion kit has just been fitted, supported by an invoice dated January 2026.
