Current V5 present. Paperwork includes a buff log book, some valuation certificates, Owner's Club correspondence, old tax discs, previous V5s, MOT certificates, various spare parts catalogues, a detailed folder containing restoration notes, a photo album containing restoration photographs, and various invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • A full semi-professional body restoration was done in the late 1990's, taking over 1904 hours of work, of which 151 hours were spent just on the two doors. All of which is fully documented and photographed in my 3inch thick file included with the car
  • I have owned the car for 14 years, and in 2012 had a professional 1098 engine and gearbox upgrade, and a later addition of a brake servo unit fitted to bring the braking system more in line for modern-day use
  • The car does have a few minor scratches on parts of the paintwork where I have squeezed past it in my garage
  • The car has also never been out on wet roads during my ownership
  • The car also has discrete indicators fitted as well as fully working original type Trafficators
  • I am just sorry that, due to ill health, I am not able to look after the car as it deserves
  • In August 2013, my car had a professionally reconditioned 1098 engine & gearbox installed, and has since then only travelled a total of 271 miles to date. So it could be said that it is not really run-in yet
  • Since this car was completely renovated in the late 1990’s The car body has been protected with WAXOYL anti-rust protector. And since my 14 years of ownership, I have not seen or found any body rust internally or externally on this car. Also, the engine was converted (during the upgrade to run on E5 unleaded petrol)
