The vendor has provided the following:

This car has the rarely ordered factory-fitted power steering. This was an optional extra on the Cloud 1 instead of standard on the Cloud 2.

Most were driven by chauffeurs so owners generally didn't see the need for the extra cost. Hence despite the current condition, the power steering is a desirable and somewhat sought-after unit that makes the car with the needed restoration.

The current owner purchased it as a restoration project ten years ago but never got around to it. However, has replaced brake master cylinders and the brakes have been fully serviced. Also fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system.

Currently requires a new battery, but the engine runs, The body shell seems solid, but the sills, some body panels, and the interior required renovation as can be clearly seen.

All parts are readily available via after-market retailers.

Comes with a file full of earlier receipts and other paperwork including original build specs.
