SUMMARY
Rare, early-production, January 1976 car needing minor details to finish. Could be a worthwhile project.
DESCRIPTION
- Built on 15/01/1976 making this number 383 off the production line, a nice early example
- Supplied in January 1976 to Henlys of London and was originally Midnight Blue with tan leather
- The subject of a minor refurb in 1989 with new sills being fitted and a total repaint in Signal Red
- More recently, the fuel tank has been restored and the car is nearly ready to be put back on the road
- Supplied with a small history file including some invoices, old MOTs and its Heritage Certificate
- The engine does turn over on the pulley but has not been started recently. We encourage and welcome your inspection
- These very early cars are becoming increasingly sought after and with only a small amount of work required to return this car to the road, it could be a rather worthwhile project
