Description
WORK DONE SINCE ACQUISITION IN 1992
In addition to routine maintenance, the following is a list of new parts fitted or repair work done (not in chronological order) during my ownership. In the few instances where modern parts have been used, these have been hidden, or fitted in such a way as to be removable if necessary.

GENERAL COMMENTS/ WORK REQUIRED
Chassis, body, engine, transmission and electrics very sound.
All components work correctly, except no key to driver’s door, no element in cigar lighter.
Interior (headlining, leather to door panels and rear seat) good, but front bench seat, also front door lower trim panels, require repair.
Would benefit from new carpets. Some clouding to bottom of windscreen glass and to one rear quarter glass. A genuine solid and unspoilt pre-war saloon in good working order.
N. B. Odometer reading most probably does not represent actual mileage covered, which is unknown.
