MOT – Exempt Finished in an attractive shade of light blue and presented with a contrasting light interior, this elegant open-top example offers a charming combination of style, usability and careful restoration.

The vendor informs us that this 1963 example is a particularly well-sorted car, described as ‘well dialled in’ and driving superbly.

Power is provided by a larger capacity 2.0-litre engine fitted with twin Weber 40 carburettors, which we are advised pulls strongly and enhances the driving experience.

The car further benefits from disc brakes all round, offering improved stopping performance.

Externally, the car presents very well, while the mohair hood is said to be in good order.

Inside, the cabin is notably tidy, having been retrimmed in black vinyl at some stage, and is complemented by an Empi GTV steering wheel, adding a subtle period-correct sporting touch.

Overall, this is described as a very usable and enjoyable example, ready for immediate use.
