Opening bid $19,000, no reserve, no bids yet, 6 days left in auction. 63k miles.

Sellers description:
Surely one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Lovingly restored in dark metallic blue and silver. This car has had extensive restoration.

Interior - original seats have been restored, no tears, soft and subtle leather. The carpets have been replaced with original Wilton wool. All the woodwork inside has been restored to a soft and not a garish shine. All the veneer is perfect. Also, new headlining. Air conditioning has been discretely fitted.

Exterior - the exterior has been re-sprayed and really makes the car look remarkable. No body work was performed on the car as this was a rust-free example with no imperfections. The original wheels have been treated. The parts of the chrome have been replated and it all shows well.

Engine - The engine having been sat for 30 odd years was completely rebuilt. The exhaust was also replaced. The radiator and fuel tank were restored. This car is very original and the numbers match.

Car No. 178031DN
Body No. E052420
Engine No. KH4628-8
Gearbox No. GBN6194JS (note the J could be a 2)

There is some original documentation which will support that the car's mileage should be as stated.

The car drives well, the only modifications to the original car are firstly the color, which was originally gold but the car has been completely painted inside and out so that is not seen. The air conditioning has been fitted, as we live in Florida and it's not a comfortable car to drive with a/c, but that is very much in keeping as you will see in the photos, and does not in anyway detract from the car, with the exception that the battery had to be moved to the trunk. One other thing, the tires are slightly bigger than the originals and also radial, but as the wheels are original, should you wish to put the original tires back on the car that would be easy to do.

Engine No. KH4628-8

There is some original documentation which will support the mileage as stated. Briefly, the car was purchased new and put into storage in Virginia upon the owners death in 1972. A neighbor purchased it from the widow in early 2005 and sold it to an English gentleman in Florida in June, 2005 just as he purchased it. The restoration work was done by him over the next 18 months and I purchased it in early 2007 and trailered it to Tucson, had some additional work done and have garaged it until now. The car drives well; the only modifications being the exterior color and the fitting of the A/C unit which was needed both if FL and AZ.
