Description
This is an absolutely superb example (and probably one of the nicest available at the moment), well finished in a lovely shade of red with black part-leather interior, quality double-duck hood and the all-important overdrive. The car was extensively restored some 20 years ago, the renovation included a brand new Heritage body shell, Ivor Searle rebuilt engine and gearbox, mechanical rebuild and full retrim. The car has covered approximately 17, 000 miles since then and has been meticulously maintained. The red paintwork is in lovely condition as are the interior, the bumpers, the wheels and the underside. We think the matching tyres, which have done very little mileage, are around four years old. Both doors fit very well, as do the boot and bonnet, the engine bay is nicely detailed – pretty much perfect – and the boot area is well painted and also carpeted. The hood is under three years old and is like new, and there is a full tonneau and hood cover, again, all in A1 condition. The car starts well, all the mechanics are good, the Ivor Searle engine is very responsive and quick, the overdrive is smooth and the suspension is in good order. The result is a great driving car which is a pleasure to sit in. Paperwork includes Heritage Certificate, V5C, old invoices, old MOT certificates, handbook, workshop manual and MOT to April 2027.
