It was imported back to the UK in August 2021 and UK registered on 1st July 2022. Bodywork: Will require a full strip, welding, restoration and respray. Interior: Originally built and supplied with a beige interior. It now has a black interior so has clearly been either replaced or recovered. Engine: The car retains its original engine and will require removal and overhaul. Chassis and underneath: I have tried to examine and photograph. The floor and chassis are surprisingly good in some areas and in others will require welding and restoration. Please See *** for more information and pictures.
