Some tyres need changing. My late father purchased this car in 2002 when he retired. It was his pride and joy. He cherished it & he had great pleasure driving it around.

The work undertaken by the previous owner (a panel beater) to the bodywork is to an impressive high standard. The car is a stunning cherry red colour.

My (late) father was also meticulous with the work that he carried out servicing, maintaining & preserving the car.

We would like the car to be sold to someone who like my father will cherish it & gain a great deal of pleasure driving it around.
