Description
This particular SP250 was first registered in 1960 and has only had 4 keepers in total. The previous owner had the car for 32 years. It is finished in red with Tan Leather interior. With a black mohair hood and comes complete with Tonneau cover. The car is in truly stunning condition. The Service history goes back to 1996. The Engine had a full rebuild in 1999 and the car has covered around 15000 miles since. The gearbox was replaced with a reconditioned unit from David Manners in 2000, and the whole of the wiring loom has been too. It runs now like a Swiss watch it’s so smooth.
I've kept it in a dry garage and only take it out on dry days when roads are not salted.
