MOT passed on 10 July 2017 at 3108 miles.
It has been used in dry weather only since it’s rebuild.
The car will come with 12 months MOT. This rebuild was my post retirement project. To drive it is a very reliable and fun car. However as my age increases I find less enthusiasm to use it.
She needs a full re spray in BRG to make a very impressive car. All the panels have had the corrosion removed and new metal welded in. It just needs the master body expert to wield his or her magic.
