The vendor has provided the following:

  • Driven 200 miles to the auction.
  • In early 2016, James Walshe of Practical Classics pulled the car out from its slumber
  • It was parked up in the owner's garage in 1991
  • James recommissioned it and drove it, along with three other cars, to a car show in Switzerland
  • I bought a copy of Practical Classics out of the blue, and happened to see the first article on the car
  • I asked to buy the car when he was moving it on
  • It came to me in October 2016 with 28,000 miles
  • I have been on car tours and jaunts all over the country, and two years ago, a bare metal respray was completed
  • I'm only selling it because it seems to spend too much time sitting in my garage while I'm busy at work
