Condition and Work Required
As a project, the car is presented honestly with the following points to be addressed:
Bodywork: The bonnet and bootlid require repainting due to the paintwork having dulled over time.
Interior: The interior would benefit from tidying and restoration to match the quality of the bodywork.
Soft Top: The hood needs attention, as the rear screen is split.
Electrics: The rev counter is not currently connected and requires investigation.
Mechanical: The car starts, stops, drives, and the manual gearbox works through all the gears. Crucially, the major structural and rust-related work is already complete, meaning no welding is required.
