The engine sounds healthy and shows very good oil pressure. It pulls well. Recent work includes a full gearbox rebuild and a new clutch, new front brake discs and pads, and attention to the front suspension.
Inside the history file there are the aforementioned magazine copies detailing the restoration, invoices of subsequent maintenance work over the years, including some from Holland where the car lived for a while, a Green log book and various MOT certificates, the oldest being from April 1976.
