This striking example was always finished in Dark blue, wire wheels and overdrive, always a Uk supplied RHD car with the desirable manual overdrive gearbox. She has enjoyed restorative maintenance including a high-quality nut and bolt restoration completed around 2014 which included engine, gearbox, upgrades etc. She also enjoyed some sensible upgrades including: Rack and pinion power steering Upgraded 4 pot brakes Alternator Electronic fuel pump High torque starter Electric front seats Upgraded suspension Kenlowe cooling fan Electronic 123 ignition The original engine has been rebuilt, including a straight port E type cylinder head, overbored block with oversized pistons, lightened flywheel, tuned exhaust system, twin Su carbs and tuned. The result of the engine upgrade is a very lively car with the ability to rev higher and is far more sporty than a standard car whilst retaining the smoothness of the small block six cylinder.
