The Appeal
We love a good B, and this car is exactly that. An early example, it was restored 10 years ago to a high standard and finished in the fetching combination of Old English White with retrimmed burgundy cabin.
This pretty car began its life in USA before arriving in Denmark 25 years ago. It carries Danish registration plus a useful French FFVE certification. The current technical inspection runs to September 2027.
This is an enthusiast-owned car that has been well-maintained and looked after, as you can see in the photos. It is an indication of the seller’s approach that it will be sold with a fresh service covering engine, gearbox and differential fluids alongside other areas.
The vendor says:
“This car stands out for the quality of its restoration. It is clear that the people who restored this car paid attention to every detail. The interior is very neat and tidy. There is absolutely no corrosion on the underside of the car, chassis, or rocker panels. No black-on-black paint has been sprayed on the floors or chassis. We can still see the shapes of the floors. The engine bay is also immaculate. Chrome spoke wheels. Chrome in perfect condition. It also has an original-style Bakelite steering wheel.”
