It was driven literally once a week for 20 years and then taken off the road by the Elderly Lady Owner in 1998 and discovered tucked away in a garage in 2020 by the previous owner who started re-commissioning it, I took ownership midway through the recommission and have driven it around 1500 Miles in the past 18 months and is now ready for it's 3rd owner to drive!

Just gone through It's first MOT since 1997 and is MOT'd Until March 20th 2025!!

It is all original inside, everything works as it should, even the original radio works !

It has been in my garage for the past several months and will need a polish as the paint is dull in a few places.
