Current V5 present. Paperwork includes Owner's Manuals, a Service book containing 3 stamps, printed photographs of the re-spray, two executive catalogues, some printed diagrams, MOT certificates, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

This vehicle had been kept in a bus garage, under a tarpaulin for many years. When it saw daylight, it was found to be completely original with no rust evident anywhere. The seats and carpet are still original,and they only needed a new headlining. The car was completely stripped to the bare body shell, and re-sprayed. Upon re-assembly, new front struts were fitted. All brightwork has been re-chromed at vast expense. Since my ownership, I have had the carburetor reconditioned, new brake and clutch master cylinders, a new clutch slave cylinder, and two new rear wheel brake cylinders. The mileage is believed correct and to satisfy my curiosity, I removed the cylinder head to check for bore wear and there wasn’t even the slightest of a lip at the top of the bores.
