Manufactured on the 17th of November 1976, and delivered in Signal Red over Oatmeal & Brown / Marcasite.
MOT’s on file recording the cars entire life up until 2013 and showing the year by year mileage increases.
Between 2014 and 2022, SJ Sports Cars Ltd carried out a comprehensive restoration, in the ever famous “The Spy Who Loved Me” specification.
Absolutely every element of the car was restored, and the finished article speaks for itself to this day.
Shortly after the restoration, it was then sold to its current owner and used incredibly sparingly since.
Under 1000 miles have been completed under this current owner, and the car remained in an airconditioned cocoon at all times while not being driven.
There isn’t much more you can say about cars at this level of perfection, it genuinely is something you need to come and behold for yourself.
As ever, please do let us know if you would like to make an appointment.
