I purchased this as a rolling project in 2008. This car has followed has followed me through a university degree, four house moves, two children, several jobs and starting and running my own business, 18 years in total .
I’ve made sure this car is as original as possible with hard work tracing down many rare parts over the years, fortunately the car was very complete when purchased.

- Fast Road Springs and shock absorbers
- Fast road full exhaust
Non-asthmatic airbox

Fuel tank, improved breather setup and anti-spill valve.

Just back from a 45min spin around the country roads and it really is a great car but I need to focus on restoring my '65 Series 2
