Remarks
Around the lower bodywork, Britain’s salty roads have started to take their toll and the inner wheel arches have received some amateur corrosion repairs to keep the car very presentable. There’s also a little corrosion to the bottom of the doors but this does not appear excessive at present.

Remarks
The dashboard appears to remain free from UV damage and all the walnut veneers continue to present really well. The vendor reports that all the switchgear seems to work including the heater and you’ll note a rather fancy retro-styled Becker Cascade radio is fitted and complete with its original box.
