GPJ5K, that, by the way is the original number and it stays with the car. The car has come to market as part of a deceased estate. Owned by a Gentleman in Westbury since 1991 and by his wife before him since 1987. This is excellent providence having been in the family for 34 years and importantly, garaged in a warm dry place. There is a good history file which goes right back to 1977 including numerous invoices and you will find that there is one dated January ’87 for the restoration of this lovely car amounting to £1770. You will also find old MOT’s, some as far back as the seventies and V5’s. She also has had a new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and the hood has been replaced. She has been sorned for 15 years until 2020, but would you believe it, a new battery was fitted, fresh fuel and a tap on the electric fuel pump and she started up straight away. She drives and holds a good oil pressure and stops. N.B. take care, the brakes are a little spongy so she would benefit from a full service and a good check over.

Now, to the condition of the bodywork and interior – by the way she has an alloyed bonnet as do the earlier cars and she is very sound, no visible rust, good gaps and the doors shut cleanly and the interior is in good order, but the paint is 34 years old. The car can be used as is until the new owner decides to do a proper repaint and then she would be a cracker. She comes with a manual gearbox with overdrive, wire wheels, black vinyl interior and tonneau cover. This car really is quite an exceptional find. May be viewed strictly by appointment
