We have purchased the vehicle at ~77000 miles. Currently the vehicle sits about ~78000+ miles. After the purchase we began the restoration process. We put in ~£15000+ for parts and labour focusing primarily on mechanical issues and restoration. The vehicle was always serviced/ worked on at specialist classic car mechanic shops.
Our restoration process lasted for more than a year and finished recently. In short we have managed to get the vehicle running very well. Significantly reduced the amount of weeps/ leaks. Rebuilt the engine. Rebored the crank shaft. Replaced the timing chain. Purchased a new torque converter. Purchased a new carburetor. Purchased a new starter motor. Front and rear brakes were serviced. Transmission serviced. Diff was serviced. Battery Replaced. Exhaust work was carried out. Filters, fluids, gaskets, spark plugs, pumps, pipes, hoses, bearings, vacuum lines, list too large to mention here. (All our service history is available)
The car feels soft when driving and easy to control. Some restoration works were done to the front suspension/ steering. All 4 tyres are freshly new Cooper Cobras.
The vehicle originally came in Gold. The vehicle paint is in good condition and we had it polished and ceramic coated. No problems with rust were noted by the mechanics.
