With all of the restoration captured on memory stick which comes with the vehicle you get a feel for the dedication that has been put in to ensure this is as original as you can get
Along with being a '1 family' owned vehicle from new you get a double whammy in one special vehicle. The vehicle was owned by the current owners Grandmother from new who rarely used the vehicle due to working for the local bus company and having free travel
Only coming out of the garage for its annual Mot and occasional Sunday drive however spending most of its life in the garage, It then through probate passed to the current owners father where it then spent more years in a garage and finally ended up with the current owner who had the car transported to Scotland again languished in the garage not driven and eventually moving from Scotland down to Tunbridge Wells the car went with the keeper where it never moved again
It then has been brought back to its former glory and proudly stands gleaming waiting to be driven by one lucky person. A true time warp of a classic with an amazing history being brought back to life for the 21st century.
V5 Present and HPi Clear.
