Descrizione
Built in November 1959 and exported to Canada - it was reimported by me to the UK in 2016, during which time I have covered approx. 4, 000miles. It was owned for 38 years by the previous owner who commissioned a professional restoration (frame off) in 1984; the paintwork now reflects its age. It is used only on dry days for club events and during my ownership the soft-top was used only once for an AH Club event. In 2000 the seats / interior were replaced with black with red piping.
Vredestein Sprint tyres were fitted upon my ownership in Dec 2016. A schedule of work was carried out by an AH specialist three years ago at a cost of £4, 500 to include sensible modifications such as floor heat insulation, twin port USB panel and indicator buzzer. Oil pressure when cold is 60 psi and 45psi running hot and water temp is 180/ 190F - overdrive 3rd and 4th works fine. A new heavy duty battery was fitted in 2019, the dynamo was rebuilt and the rear brakes overhauled this year. A solid state fuel pump was fitted in 2017.
Documentation includes a file of fifty old invoices, some older photos, and the British Heritage certificate.
The car is always garaged and comes with beige soft top and tonneau, side screens with new rubber seals and jack.
I am selling the car to buy a RHD BJ8.
No dealers.
The car is located near Sevenoaks, Kent, two miles from the M20, 40 miles from Folkestone Eurotunnel and 50miles from Dover.
