Up until 2016 car was one of our daily drivers, but only during good weather.
This is a nice, fun car to drive around, especially with the top down. It gets a lot of attention, too.

Although the car is in very nice condition, it needs to have the clutch slave cylinder repaired in order to be driven and is being sold as "USED, AS-IS." Please remember that this is a 40 year old British sports car and needs to be properly maintained and cared for as such.
