Current V5 present. Paperwork includes owners handbooks, The Indicator magazine, laminated information from Scholae Engines Ltd, purchase invoice, old new keeper slip, tax discs, previous V5s, DVLA correspondence, MOT certificates, Practical Classics mag, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

The car was originally purchased from Mathewson's back in 2024.

I have since undertaken a number of improvements.

This included rebuilding of all the front suspension, new adjustable struts, top bushes, lower arms, new rubbers, and new steering joints etc.

These improvements continued with new discs, calipers, pads, shoes, braided brake pipes, etc.

It didn't stop there! …I then removed the engine, resprayed the engine bay and fitted a 1700cc race engine with twin DCO Weber carbs.

The engine was built by specialists Scholar Engineering.

I also fitted an electric fuel pump in the rear boot and also relocated the battery here.

The exhaust has been ceramic coated, which cost a great deal of money. However, sadly, my circumstances have changed dramatically and I can no longer keep the car.

Please view the paperwork, including bills, receipts, and so forth in the office.

Thank you for your interest.
