Condition
8
The car received a high-quality restoration by marque specialists Vantage Motorworks. The restoration included a new livery of Gunmetal Grey over Mason’s Black, with Dove Grey Connolly leather interior piped in black and an English mohair top. The car also had one of Vantage's period factory-style air conditioning conversions installed. The car retains “purdah” glass sun visors, as-original, as well as a later, period-correct radio. The mileage is still actual, and the car comes with the original and complete sets of road and hand tools, the original set of keys with codes engraved, an original owner’s handbook, and documentation of its long-term care by the original owner.
