The car has had an extensive restoration during the early 1990s. The car received significant attention to the bodywork including a full glass-out respray, extensive corrosion remedial and preventative works, an engine and chassis overhaul, and various other miscellaneous works.The interior also presents fantastically well for its age, and has clearly been the recipient of plenty of care and attention during its lifetime.
