This desirable coupe has been in dry storage since just before covid. I purchased her at start of year and it's only just come from storage as they needed room. I have other projects im working on and just don't have the time so offering her for sale.
Interesting car as owned by Mrs Sarah Jane Don.
Of the Monte Don family. the famous gardener.
Owned by her sine February 2012. previous owner Bruce Conrad Carr of London.
The car has had much expenditure on brakes new calipers discs, brake lines and rear exhaust. and she runs drives changes gear and stops very well. she is a little reluctant to tick over but engine is very quiet and revs cleanly once warmed up a bit.
Mechanically I think it won't need much but body showing her age passenger side is worst some corrosion on wing under bumper rear arch been caught and rust set in so small repair needed. the car is remarkable good underneath but sills around jacking points will need bit of attention. paintwork has various marks and few dents.
But bulkhead very good as is battery tray rear screen surround very good. doors shut like a bank vauls. electric sunroof working well as do all Windows except passenger rear. mirror works seat vacuum system works so with engine running and doors shut seat backs lock in position. heater works and all fan speeds as do wipers and lights. all gauges work and radio.
Selling as a project but mostly bit of bodywork.
I have full v5 some old mot certs handbook couple of invoices.
Lovely easy project.
I'm Hereford.
