Auction description:
Body colour: Primrose Yellow
Date Manufactured: 1969
Registration Number: BGU 179G
Chassis Number: 1R7744
This 1969 car was imported from America in 1990 and was purchased by the current vendor in 1996. He had the car converted to RHD by marque specialists M&C Wilkinson of Doncaster in 1997 and in 1999 had a new mohair hood fitted by acknowledged leaders in their field, Suffolk & Turley.

In December 2000 the car was further treated to a full engine rebuild and unleaded conversion by another top name, RS Panels of Nuneaton. Maintained regardless of cost, this car has always been regularly used by its enthusiast owner and has completed many classic tours, both here and on the continent, during which it has "never missed a beat".

Said to drive superbly and to be utterly reliable, it also looks very fine with a nicely patinated interior and excellent bodywork. With an MOT until August and free to tax, this is a thoroughly sorted car that you could jump into and drive anywhere in considerable style and complete confidence. All at a very realistic guide price.
Guide price 17,800

United Kingdom

Finished in original Primrose Yellow paintwork with a Black leather interior, the car has had much expense lavished upon it since landing on our shores in 1990 when the mileage was a credible, but not warranted, 56, 330. According to the comprehensive history file accompanying the car, well known marque specialist M&C Wilkinson of Doncaster converted the car to RHD in 1997 with invoices on file to the tune of £8, 000. In 1999 a new Mohair hood was fitted by Suffolk and Turley and the engine rebuilt and converted to run on unleaded fuel by RS Panels of Nuneaton with invoices approaching £6, 000.

The current keeper has owned the car since 2015 when the mileage was recorded at 84, 711. £6, 542 was spent preparing the car to a high standard which was obviously money well spent as the car still presents beautifully today. Although enjoyed and cherished by the current keeper, less than 1, 500 miles have been covered in 9 years hence the car is being sold due to so little use.
