Prior to my purchase 4 years ago, had undergone full bare metal
re-spray with new leather interior, head cloth and carpets. Since then
it has been fitted with new tyres, battery, vacuum advance mechanism
and carburetors rebuilt. The front end has been completely rebuilt
recently with new bushes, sleeves, trunnion pins, correctly rated coils
and new shock absorbers. Excellent mechanical condition and mileage of
120,700 believed to be genuine.
