As the original green log book confirms, this 3.4 Automatic was first registered to a Ms Angelia Garnett of Marlborough in June 1965 and has been in the current ownership since June 2010. Pleasingly original in most respects with raised letter number plates and a nicely patinated light blue leather interior, it was treated to a bare metal respray in the mid-1990s and still looks smart today with good panel gaps and a sound underside that has recently been waxoiled.

Always kept garaged in the current ownership and used in fine weather only, old MOTs show that it has covered less than 500 miles in the last 8 years, hence the reason for sale. Serviced fairly recently and said to drive well, it certainly performed nicely when we were treated to a short test drive on the occasion of our visit, attracting lots of admiring glances as we prowled the roads of Malvern. It comes with an original owner's handbook, a factory service manual and a parts catalogue.
