Original 948 cc engine, original Buff Log Book. Fully restored back in 2019/ 20 with very little use since.

Frogeye Spares also provided a lot of the engine components for its rebuild, including a new oil pump, core plugs, timing chain, big end and main bearing sets, water pump etc, D&R James also of Poole fitting valve inserts for unleaded fuel and reboring and honing the block. Frogeye Spares also supplied a new wiring loom. There are plenty more bills besides. Still in superb condition with no dings, dents or marks to the paintwork, excellent condition on the underside and under the original steel bonnet shows really well.

Although not required the car will come with a fresh 12 month MoT.
