This example has undergone a significant amount of restoration work, including the body shell which is now in excellent condition. The vendor believes that over �15,000 has been spent during a lengthy and thorough restoration, including the fitment of a 4.2 litre engine which has had specially modified polished cam covers fitted to make the engine look like the original 3.4 litre unit. Three pallets of loose parts are to be included in the sale. These include two spare engines, one of which is believed to be the original 3.4 litre motor as well as numerous trim and small body parts. These are available for collection from Gloucester by the purchaser as part of the sale. Fitted with a manual gearbox and overdrive this car represents a fantastic opportunity to take on the fun part of a restoration starting with a sound shell as a basis.
