The car was imported into the UK in 2012, it has the correct stamped customs and excise form 386 (all duties paid)
There is a small history file and photos of the car in Africa.

Since it’s time in the UK the restoration was started but not completed, the car will be sold this way.
It is a great, and very rare opportunity for the new owner to either finish the car in jet black, or return it to its original colour of Pearl grey!!

The car does have missing parts, a list of these parts has been made, I have enquired with a 356 specialist who has all the parts available.
I can pass on that information to any interested parties.
