Handbook Condition: A nice solid, well maintained car. This car has been used locally during the summer for the last 12 years by an elderly gentleman and his wife. I have provided storage for the car in the cold months for all those years and know this car well. The car runs well and has been maintained by a local British car specialist. The paint has faded and there are rust bubbles in the rear pan, but overall the car is quite solid. This said, the inner rocker panels have some rust damage that shows clearly in the photos. The top, curtains and so forth are old and stiff and the rear straps on the top irons need replacement but everything is useable. I have tried to summarize this car in the description and in the photos but I am certain you will have further questions. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Please read this prior to bidding. This is a wonderful old car. It makes women of all ages break out in smiles. It is, at the same time a 53 year old, largely original, British motorcar. The heater is equivalent to having a field mouse panting on your pant leg.
