The vendor has provided the following:
- This car has been in our family since my father took ownership in March 1982
- He bought it off a company called “Filmsmiths Ltd” in London, and I was told it appeared in a James Bond Film. Googling it, it was in the background scene in “For Your Eyes Only”
- My father has unfortunately passed, so I don’t have a lot of information
- It has been in an open-ended garage for the past 15 years and has not been used much
- I don’t know much about the condition, but I have found bills from 2017-2018 on engine and body work
- More than £10,000 with the Citroen specialist Brodies in London
- Although the battery is flat, I have had the car started with another, and it started straight away, and most importantly, the Hydraulics all worked, and the car lifted up on start-up
