Vehicle History

Remarks

I bought the car in 1985 and used it as a daily driver for 2 years it was then parked in our garage and used very sparingly until 2006 when we carried out the restoration after that it stayed in my garage at home and used once again very sparingly looking back at some of the older mots it would appear that it’s covered just about 2000 miles during my ownership. As this car was maintained by ourselves a family motor repair business I don t have much paperwork other than old mots and some receipt for additional work. However, it does have some photographic evidence of the restoration.
