Description
Now listed at Benzin.fr European online auction
To complement the fantastic condition, this charming early Amazon has one of the best history files I’ve ever seen on a motor car. Every roadworthiness inspection report on file since the first one in 1966. Original handbook and road map. All documents always stored dry and in pristine condition
Driven from Norway to Finland in August 2021, fantastic road trip; 24 hours including over 700 kms of driving and 12 hour ferry from Stockholm to Turku/Åbo.
Three owners; two in Sweden and one in Norway, every MOT inspection documented from new.
Additional to the 10343 GBP invoice for comprehensive restoration in the UK in 2013, over 2500 Eur worth of invoices during the last Norwegian ownership: brakes, suspension, ignition, exhaust, emblems, cooling, general service items, interior, rebuild dynamo, P1800/123GT springs and shocks etc.
