It's fitted with the desirable wire wheel option that is a must for British sports cars of this period.The body on this car looks extremely good with nice and uniform panel gaps. Paintwork is slightly older but appears very nice and glossy with only a few small chips here and there, that could be easily touched up. Brightwork looks excellent overall with evidence of newer bumper bars and a superb original grille.

The car currently has a soft top fitted that needs replacement, but a brand new one is supplied with the car for an easy swap out. The matching black top boot fits well and is superb.Mechanically, the car feels like it's in fine fettle. The engine starts easily on little choke, warms up and idles nice, and is a quiet and smooth unit with good oil pressure and no smoke. The clutch bites well, the gearbox shifts fine through all of the gears. The brakes pull up OK, even though pedal pressure is a bit on the high side. The car is fitted with a newer set of fresh, silver-grey, stove-enamelled wire wheels and newer quality Vredestein 175R15 radial tires. The suspension feels fine and the car can be driven confidently. PLEASE SEE VIDEO.The car's underside looks excellent and solid with replacement factory floors fitted and then correctly undercoated.
