Same owner 52 years! Beautifully restored, has documentation.

I bought this from the gentleman that has owned this car since 1969, 52 years! He bought it from the second owner for $1,200. He picked up his wife of 47 years for their first date in this car in 1973. He also told me a story where he took his two kids and his wife on vacation in this car. The kids sat in the back and the suitcase was strapped to the spare tire. It was professionally restored in the mid 90s by Canley Restorations, they specialized in British sports cars. Only 400 miles since restored. In 2018 over $5,200 was spent at another British car restoration shop where it was completely inspected and serviced. It has always been garaged, heated in the winter. Photos and receipts are included. 74,000 actual miles.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail.
