Equipment

Polished wheels, fitted luggage, tools, jack, manuals and an extra set of seats with brown tartan upholstery as originally built. Featured in an October 2011 article in Octane Magazine. Freshly restored to showroom condition with better paint and upholstery. Superb bodywork with even gaps, flush fits and absolutely flat panels. It doesnt get any better.

Market commentary
