MAJOR RECENT WORK Among the servicing mentioned in the history file, we can note the following: - In 2011, when it had 71, 220 miles on the clock (it has 83, 640 miles today), the gearbox was opened and rebuilt at Renaissance Auto Nostalgie, a reference address in the Lyon region for many years. In 2012, when it had 75, 500 miles, the engine was completely rebuilt at AS Classic Engineering. All the invoices for these items are included in the history file.
