This highly desirable British Racing Green roadster residing with the same family for twelve years, absolutely defies it’s age, and even in it’s original un-restored condition, shows very strong. The previous owner did install a new top, exhaust, fuel lines and electric pump. In addition to that, all new rubber items, carpeting, alternator, water pump, generator, belts, hoses and fuel tank were cleaned and sealed. The previous owner stated that when they found the car it had just 4000 original miles on the car. We do not have the documentation as such, but the originality. fit and finish should testify to their claim. At 6,775 miles on the clock now, the car purrs like a sewing machine.
