a rare opportunity to acquire a totally correct series 1 80'' (chassis number r06100274) registered as gew 696, which was built in the august of 1949 and still retains all of the original parts and accessories. The numbers are all correct as follows:

the restoration was very comprehensive with anything and was completed some time ago but this series 1 has covered just 291 miles and is in really incredible condition and drives really well.
