I purchased CMO 490 J (Charley) in November 2015 having covered 4300 miles. Milage now at 5702
Throughout my ownership the car has always been garaged and dry run. Maintenance carried out by local specialist.
Serviced and engine set up on rolling road this summer. I have greatly enjoyed owning Charley for the past 11 years, having gone to many local classic car events and sunny days out with the hood down. But age and back problems mean that the time has come to pass on to the next owner.
