Beschreibung
Built in 1988, this Hutson TF went straight to Spain with its first owner who didn’t even register it for many years. He stored it in his basement as part of a private classic car collection, which preserved it extraordinarily well.
The current owner bought this car in 2012 when it was showing just 180 miles. He had it MOT’d and transported from Barry, South Wales to his home in the Midlands where he set about removing years of dust from the interior and engine bay, feeding the leather seats, and polishing the chrome and dashboard.
The old hood had cracked as a result of being stored furled for many years, so a new mohair replacement was supplied by L. Pipers of Sparkford at a cost of £750 last summer. As might be expected, it fits beautifully and adds to the imposing, no-expense-spared impression this wonderful car exudes.
The one-off Cream Pearlescent paintwork (which seems to change colour depending on the viewing angle and lighting) is in the expected excellent condition, but would just appreciate a good polish to bring back the showroom finish.
On a more minor note, the removal of the nearside door mirror has left a mark and a new front number plate would smarten up the front end.
The underside of the car is completely solid and free of rot and serious rust, although the wire wheels and some of the exterior chromework is showing some tarnishing and light rust, most of which would be restorable in a workmanlike afternoon with the metal polish. The tyres are showing good tread.
