Rare UK market RHD car
Current keeper since 1983
Restored in 1995
Dry stored since last MOT in 2011
Complete car for restoration

The Appeal

Here is an opportunity to become this Spider’s first new keeper in 43 years and restore it to meet your exact needs. As an original, UK-market RHD Series 2 car, it is rare too, especially in Avorio rather than the more common red.

The vendor tells us that the car was restored in 1995 and last used on the road in 2011. Since then, it has been in dry storage. It is complete and in fair condition considering the history, but will obviously require a full check over and recommissioning before hitting the road. Although it was ‘on the road’ and driving beautifully when laid up, it has not been started or even turned over since (there is no battery). A trailer will be needed to take it away.

Country of registration: United Kingdom
