A recently restored example of this popular and now rare sixties classic and showing only 60.000 miles on the odometer.

On inspection the body is solid with no corrosion and the paintwork is finished to a high standard.

Underneath the car is in extremely good order with no visible corrosion.

The restoration appears to be comprehensive covering everything from exhaust, wheels, tyres and all mechanicals.

The engine appears to have been worked on considerably and the bay is detailed very well.

The interior again has had major refurbishment with recently recovered seats and all interior tin wear repainted.

Running and driving well it appears that every aspect of this cars mechanicals has been dealt with.

A potential show car but not concours with room for detailing and minor cosmetic improvements.
