Although many cars look good in digital photos. if anything I would say these pictures do not do the car justice. The car has just had a first class repspray in the original 2 pack Calypso red paint at a classic car specialist paint shop at great expense. nbsp;with full photographic evidence. The wheels are as new. having been refurbished fully and the tyres are excellent.

The car has all MOTs since 1994. at which point the owner signed a declaration that the mileage was a genuine 64. 00 miles. so the mileage can be tracked from new. The service history is very comprehensive. with not only stamps. but all receipts and includes. 2 cambelt changes. rear adjustable shock absorbers. stainless steel exhaust sections. amongst just some of the many listed new items.
