SUMMARY
Wonderfully original Mk2 that was recently featured on BBC in the hands of 'Chatty Man' Alan Carr. Offered without reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Launched in March 1965, the Mk2 benefitted from a more highly tuned engine, through a revised camshaft design, a water-cooled intake manifold, and tubular exhaust manifold, increasing the power to 67bhp at 6,000rpm
- Improved interior trim with redesigned seats and carpets replaced the rubber floor mats
- This attractive example is finished in British Racing Green with a contrasting white hardtop and is fitted with overdrive
- Very good interior in Black Vinyl piped in white with its original Motorola push-button radio and a smart Moto-Lita steering wheel
- Purchased by a gentleman (photo in 1965 with car file) when it was five months old and passed down through his family until 2018 (further details in the car's history file)
- Apparently the car was driven by Alan Carr in a BBC feature (details in file)
- The paintwork on the bonnet is a little patchy and the last MOT ran out in June 2022, however, this is a delightfully original, low-mileage example of a topical 1960s classic
