Extensive chassis restoration a few years ago (with photographs included in the history file) and resprayed in Volvo glacier white. All the body fittings are in good condition with nice chromework and all badges present (including the dragon for the front grill which is painted red but currently not fitted).
The engine bay presents well with the original Gilbern air cleaner cover, new carburettor and alloy radiator. The original Essex V6 was rebuilt a few years ago by Specialised Engines to their stage 1 RS3100 specification. Wrapped tubular manifolds and good condition twin exhaust fitted. The original fuel tank has been replaced with an alloy version.
Inside the standard walnut dash still looks suitably luxurious with everything working including the electric windows. There is a classic style Calibre Bluetooth stereo fitted. The interior has been upgraded with black leather MX5 seats and inertia reel front belts. The large Britax sunroof has had a replacement vinyl cover and slides back easily
There is an extensive history file present plus a photograph album of the restoration.
To be sold serviced and with a new MoT.
