Heritage certificate. Solid reliable runabout, exciting to drive and makes friends where ever it goes. I've owned it for the last 12 years and made some improvements but age tells me it's time to let go every time I lift the bonnet. Some minor paint blemishes but otherwise in very good condition, except maybe for the soft top, which is in good condition but not the best of fits - but it keeps the weather out. Regularly serviced. never neglected. Only 3, 800 miles since the engine was rebuilt.
