Colour Blue
Registration Number KRX 722H
Chassis No. 1R35630

Documents V5C; many old MOTs and invoices; Haynes manual
Estimate No Reserve
This 2+2 manual is an original RHD S2 that was exported new to South Africa in 1970. It returned to the UK in 2002, our vendor acquiring it from Laughton Investments in 2003 at which point it was advertised as being a “rust-free” example. During his 16-year ownership our vendor lavished much money on the car including a full engine rebuild and a new clutch kit by VSE in September 2005 which cost over £3,600. In 2016 it was treated to a bodywork refurbishment and a full respray which cost over £12,300.
Numerous invoices on file attest to further upkeep over the years with many new parts including brakes, suspension, radiator, alternator, starter motor and a new set of Kumho tyres. Treated to a £1,928 spend as recently as October 2016 (brake discs, hoses, bushes etc) it has covered less than 4,300 miles since the engine was rebuilt.
On offer here from a deceased estate, it was reportedly running well when parked up about a year ago but would doubtless benefit from some precautionary recommissioning before being pressed back into use. Documentation includes a V5C, many old MOTs back to 2002 the last having expired in March 2018 with only one advisory (n/s handbrake reading low), many invoices for work carried out and a Haynes manual.
