- Recently part of a small private Collection, being maintained regardless of cost and ready to be used at the turn of the key
- Fitted with the desirable option of overdrive alongside electronic variable power steering, a rare sunroof and an aluminium radiator which, when all combined, make for a very useable package
- Significant expenditure with specialists Templar Classics of c.£11,500 since 2020 includes an engine rebuild with new camshaft and followers, repair to front crossmember turrets, refurb of front suspension, new exhaust system, new half-shaft seals, new heated rear screen (very rare!) - all 2022- and replacement tail pipes, axle straps, clutch-arm gaiter, rev counter and time clock repairs and Waxoyled - all in 2020
