There's just so much that makes this a special car that its hard to put into words. where it came from. that its hardly changed in all the years apart from a brief flirt with some B289 graphics back in the day.

MOT to July but I've no reason to think it wouldn't fly through another one like it has every year since I've had it. I would be happy to get a fresh MOT if it matters.

TAX IS FREE!

There are a few scratches. chips. a couple of small paint bubbles around one headlamp and the bottom edge of one wing. see photos. but these are very minor and haven't changed in the two and half years I've owned it. Its always been garaged anyway and considering it was painted twenty years ago the finish is amazing.

Rear lights are wired so the clear part is the indicators to keep the US style red lenses legal.

Has its original cloth headlining. all intact but looks every bit of its 46 years.

There's probably loads more to add but briefly for the money you wont find a better car

Price £6950 ono

Located in South Woodham Essex. I am around most days for a viewing except Saturday afternoons

Oh and yes its LHD but don't let that put you off its never been a problem for me except at toll booths! it all adds to the character
