The Appeal

This stunning classic British sports car is a real delight. Great care has been taken to preserve the originality of this great motor and it has a brilliant patina to the interior. The seats have piping matched to the exterior which is a lovely touch, and really completes the feel of the car. Very tastefully restored and well cared for, this is a truly excellent example of a B GT.
