Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Upgraded CV joints, Minilite wheels, AM/FM radio, stainless steel exhaust.

Painstaking restoration completed in 1995 to a quality unlikely to be imagined in Hethell, long-term ownership resulted in work being done by the owner to his satisfaction, proven roadability, excellent paint, lovely hand-done interior, fine detail work.

Market commentary

The +2 has lagged behind the two-seater, but many people feel it's aesthetically more successful. This was a record price, but a very good car. Fair deal on both sides.
