'The car has had much recent mechanical work and is now thoroughly sorted. A UK RHD car with original 1600 engine which has just been thoroughly overhauled with a Stage 2 tuned unleaded conversion carried out by Ivor Searle. The original gearbox has been professionally refurbished too. Both the engine and gearbox remain under warranty having covered c.100 post-overhaul miles and are still being run-in. Although very tidy the car is not concours. It does have a few minor blemishes to the paintwork. The original dash vinyl covering, scuttle and headlining etc have some imperfections as well but are nicely patinated and add to the car's character in a good way. In addition to the engine and gearbox the work recently carried out includes: new 12-volt battery, new clutch, new oil cooler, new front shock absorbers, high ratio 3.9 professionally overhauled with all new bearings, rear brakes relined, wheels sandblasted and repainted, 5 new Pirelli Cinturato tyres, SU carburettors rejuvenated, stainless steel exhaust, new starter motor, re-cored radiator, new seals of the correct type to boot lid and doors, new rear axle U-bolts. The car is on the button, drives well and is ready to enjoy. Big file of receipts detailing all known works including bare metal respray about 20 years ago. Comes with a few small spares, a reprinted handbook and two workshop manuals (one Haynes, one original)'.
