This 1969 example has had just three previous owners and was purchased by the vendor from a gentleman in Henley-on-Thames in 2010. Seven old MOTs are on file, the earliest dating back to 1985 by which time the odometer showed that it had covered 67,600 miles. Having seen very little use since, the vendor is of the firm belief that the indicated mileage of 70,000 is correct.

He has recently given the engine an overhaul with a new head gasket, water pump and starter motor, the gearbox having also been overhauled by a local automatic specialist. A replacement offside fuel tank has also been fitted.

MOTd until September 2014, it is described by the vendor as being in strong and sound condition and has good tyres, its original tool kit and its original upholstery. It is due to be driven some 60 miles to the sale.
