This car is a paint job away from being a top tier machine. The interior is in great shape and would benefit from half a day at a skilled trimmer to redo a couple of areas of stitching.
Things to be aware of:
Sunroof currently not opening and remains unchecked
Dent to front of driver’s door
Stonechips on bonnet inc. a few rust spots on lip and areas of lacquer lift
“Key art’ on the passenger door (appears an attempt to spell something!)
Paint chips to passenger rear sill and upper rear quarter
History of the engine remains unknown other than what appears to be genuine mileage. The way it performs, it’s possible that it’s had a rebuild at some point with a couple of juicy bits added. The throttle is SUPER responsive and she just wants to get up and go - absolutely addictive to drive!
Generally, the car presents well and offers a stress free, daily driver scenario for someone looking for a bit of retro class. Alternatively, at this price you have plenty of scope for a paint job whilst keeping within overall market value.
Available for viewing (HIGHLY recommended!) anytime at Fremont Classics, Taunton TA3 5EH
