Current owner spent seven years living in Switzerland where the car was locally registered and insured, having been given a full technical inspection (“controle technique”) and conversion (change of headlamps, tachometer) carried out by Lausanne based Aston Martin specialist – Jonathan Hartop - as well as by the official “Service des Automobiles et de la Navigation” in Canton Vaud. The car was regularly used to drive to work during Summer months and was displayed annually at the Morges UK Classic Car Festival. The car returned to the UK in 2014 when RHD lights etc were reinstated together with the original 1974 number plate. Please call 01634 671013 (South East).
