The owner reports that the car has been regularly serviced by a specialist in British automobiles. Work performed includes replacement of the ignition system and exhaust system, reupholstering of the interior approximately five years ago, and the installation of four replacement wheels and a replacement steering wheel. No invoices are provided for this work.
The original leather upholstery, wheels, and steering wheel have been preserved and will be included with the car. The engine is described as having retained its original configuration, with no major modifications.
With its 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine and manual transmission, this MK2 invites you to enjoy drives in the spirit of a 1960s British sedan.
