Outside: Fresh from an extensive restoration, it is finished in Moonwalker Grey, a Mini colour. The paint is only a few months old and is finished to a high standard, with even and consistent panel gaps. The fuel filler sometimes pops open due to new rubber stops. The car sits on refurbished painted wire wheels finished in grey paint. The exterior brightwork is sparkling and unmarked.

Inside: Retrimmed with new leather covers sourced from BAS Jaguar Trim in California. The dashboard was recovered and the original instruments refurbished. The driver's window has slipped off its channel and a chrome trim strip can slip. Other than that, everything from the boot carpet to the leather in the cockpit is new, all fitted to a high standard and extremely impressive.

Underneath: Starts on the button and drives nicely, pulling smoothly, with less than 150 miles since completion and still on its running in oil. It has a few sympathetic upgrades - 123 electronic ignition for instant starting, a high torque starter to get things moving promptly and upgraded radiator fans to keep it cool. The non original engine is a Series 1.5 unit. It has new valve seats for compatability with unleaded fuel, new SU carburettors, and a new inlet manifold and stainless steel exhaust.
