So here is a 1960 Frog eye with 4 owners and all original fittings still with the car including steel bonnet, soft top, side screens, tonneau cover and boot rack the original number plate is still with the car and is transferable, that must be worth a grand.It was restored in the early 90s and for some reason the then owner had the engine bay and underside painted blue! The car has been used Occasionally ever since. And kept MOTed until lock down. The car will be MOTed before sale to show the car is still a usable classic. It is very sound underneath and Structurally sound. There are blemishes to the bodywork as you would expect after 30 years of use. There is also some paint bubbling here and there, the rear seams and the drivers side bulkhead side have bubbling. There is evidence of filler here and there from restoration work. The steel bonnet is not a good fit on the sides but is generally sound. The front lip is a bit rusty but again it's cosmetic.This car drives really very very well and is a hoot to drive. I made my wife take it out for a spin (under some duress) and  she came back grinning from ear to ear.The last owner of 15 years new nothing about cars so it was serviced every year at MOT time and driven at weekends for fun. He never had anything done to the bodywork. So what you see is what it is, no bogging up. I have stored the car for the last owner until he moved recently to Wales and have had the car fully gone over to ensure it's still capable of use including the  brakes repaired and adjusted, a full service including plugs points filters oils etc including gearbox and diff oils. A new choke cable, flasher unit and a good polish. Unfortunately the last owner lost the service and restoration file in his house move so the car has limited history, just an owners handbook, MOT history from 2006 and several V5s as they have changed over the years along with receipts for the work recently undertaken.Your welcome to come and see the car and if you drive it you will not be able resist owning it.This car is capable of another 10 years use as it is or you could strip  it down and repaint it with localised repairs but if I were keeping it I would just keep using it. 07801 077017 after 8am until 10pm
