The vendor has provided the following:

The car was purchased new by a lady in Edinburgh in February 1967 and included a factory fitted steel sliding sunroof and a heated rear window.

I understood that the car had undergone a restoration and in July 2019 I visited the premises of Elder and Paton, a body shop in Perth whose plaque is attached to the glovebox lid. I spoke with the bodyshop manager and showed him pictures of the car and he confirmed that a photographic restoration was carried out sometime in 1995 but that they no longer had any records.

The car was sold in 2013 to the lady’s financial adviser to add to his collection of classic cars. I believe that he also had some restoration work carried out.

The car has been garaged since purchase, the last 2 years being on axle stands to preserve the tyres.

I have carried out a few small jobs since purchase, replacing: -

Distributor cap and lead

Coil

Washer bottle and pump

Flexible fuel pipes in the engine bay

Fuel pump

Fuel filter fitted at the tank end

N/S/R door seal

5 new tyres

Rocker cover gasket

Thermostat and gasket

Radiator cap

Leather interior given a sympathetic restoration

Clutch master and slave cylinders plus piping

Front fog lights (pair)

Electronic ignition module fitted within the distributor

Rear bumper and overriders re-chromium plated

Suspension pumped up to correct height
