Condition

The car has been meticulously looked after, with a full body restoration documented by photographs. The exterior paintwork is in exceptional condition with a deep shine. The interior is also presented in remarkable shape, with only a split in the leather on the right side of the backrest bolster. Mechanically, the car is in good order, with recent timing belt change and front brakes overhaul. However, there is a slight scuff to the nearside front wheel and a stone chip on the front end.
