Ownership-

1st June 1972 - Purchased by a Mr Martin Pearson, Fordingford
3rd April 1976 - Purchased by a Mrs Turner, Woking (Elite Employment Agency)
14th June 1979 - Purchased by Mr P Holden, Ealing, London W5
23rd June 1982 - Purchased by Mr J. D Wright, Surbiton (a Surrey Police Officer)
9th June 2012 - Purchased by Mr C Brown, Guildford

History File -

Extensive collection of paperwork dating back to the 1970s showing receipts for servicing, sales invoices, old V5 documents, MOTs ....

Mr Wrights's ownership is perhaps the most significant in this GTBs life to date. Purchasing the car in June 1982 for the princely sum of 1495 GBP (Invoice on file) he went on to own this car for the next 30 years.

Paperwork shows that in 1984 Mr Wright undertook the first of two significant restorations the second, and more substantial, came nearly 25 years later in 2008.
In 2008 there are dozens of receipts for parts alone totaling in excess of 7000 GBP. An invoice for a full bare metal respray of the body - 3000 GBP. Invoices for significant engine works and refresh. In short, the car was restored to 'as new' condition.
The Speedometer was returned to zero and shortly after the rebuild had been completed in 2012 the car was sold to its most recent custodian - Mr Brown who during his 10 year ownership used the car sparingly (trips around the Surrey countryside during Spring and Summer months)

Less than circa 1500 miles covered since full restoration.
Fantastic Condition inside and out - always garaged.
Fully documented provenance demonstrating low and long term ownership.
Great fun to drive and bags of character.
An excellent entry point into classic motoring.
