This car emerged essentially new after its restoration. It has done limited mileage since then, so presents now as a very original car. It is a pleasure to drive, gear changes are smooth with great syncromesh. Panel gaps are very good and with its beautiful flowing lines it draws admirers everywhere it goes. There is some minor bubbling on the paintwork.
The current careful lady owner has maintained the car well and the car lives in a dry garage and in an airflow bubble to maintain its condition. It only emerges on dry, sunny days.
With its current equipment it is an ideal car for longer trips or just sunny weekend of fun driving.
