The car has covered 24, 000 miles since the full restoration, the engine has covered less than 2, 000 miles since full rebuild.
Very little use since re-registration on Spanish Historic plates
Huge File of papers/ receipts, photographic record of restoration with the car and other information also available from Vendor. This is a very reluctant sale as it is a very fine motor car that is way above the standard of most conversion V8s. Contact me for further information.
The car was purchased and restored by a British lawyer living in France. It was sold to another lawyer friend of his and brought to southern Spain. Here it was diagnosed with an engine problem so the unit was removed from the car and completely rebuilt and re-bored using new pistons and all other items. The car has barely covered 2, 000 miles since and is in super condition. It is RHD but is on full Spanish Historic plates.
