Current V5 present. Paperwork includes laminated previous V5s, notes from the vendor, and DVLA correspondence.

The vendor has provided the following:

• RS 2000 Custom
• Black with black interior ( special order only )
• Last taxed in 1979
• Stored in a lockup in Coventry until I brought it in 2020
• Shell is in incredible condition for its age, as it was undersealed and cavity protected with Ziebart
• In the time I have had it, I have been accumulating parts to do the restoration, including: New Higgins roof skin and floor, putty headlining, new carpet, 4 new Cibie headlights with the correct RS2000 numbers, Bilstein rear B6 shock absorbers and front B6 inserts, new exhaust system
• Engine is not original but is painted in the green Hamerite that was used by Burtons back in the day
• I have no idea what the spec of the engine is, but it is fitted with a Burton peg-type adjustable cam wheel and a
  DGAS carburettor
• The gearbox is a Type 9 5-speed with quick shift
