This early, matching numbers, Mk. II is fitted with the desirable 3.8 litre engine, manual gearbox with overdrive. It is believed to have been restored in the late 1990's, early 2000's when the car was repainted and other mechanical work was carried out. Within the last five years, the interior has been replaced and the woodwork restored and re-polished. This year the vendor has had electric power steering fitted making the car very easy and comfortable to drive. Finished in the classic colour scheme of black with a dark red interior, it is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires at the end of February 2016, a file containing old MoT's, invoices, a JDHT heritage certificate and magazine articles. Also supplied with the car is the original, complete tool kit presented in the original box. With the power steering fitted, this desirable 3.8 litre Mk. II, with its overdrive gearbox and classic wire wheels, is a very usable classic and equally suited to being an every day car as well as being the perfect machine for events and rallies.
