Condition 

8

The car has undergone a recent sympathetic restoration and has only covered 1,000 miles since. The bodywork was in good shape, with work done to the rear wheelarches. The engine, gearbox, brakes, and wiring were worked on in 2018. The car received a full respray in the same year and was professionally re-trimmed inside. The brightwork was rechromed. The restoration was completed in May 2019, passing its MOT with no advisories. The only real blemish is some slight microblistering to the paint on the boot lid.

The job has been well executed, with extra strengthening to the chassis clearly evident.

It has had four former keepers, according to the V5C, our vendor acquiring the car in 2017 as a renovation project from a gentleman in Sandhurst who had o...
