I purchased the car about 6 years ago from the family of the owner in his 80’s the car was in very sound and straight condition running with MOT. The car being dry stored for some time needed a re- commission that turned into a full restoration to bring to its current standard.

On completion the car was valued and insured by Haggerty for £35000.
