The gearbox and differential have been refurbished. Upgrades include Gaz platform shock absorbers, stainless steel brake hoses, large-core radiator, slim-line electric fan and chromed wire wheels. A full photographic record of the entire restoration process, amounting to 500 images on a CD-ROM, is included in the sale. Presented in commensurately excellent condition, the car is currently taxed/MoT'd and comes with Heritage Certificate and V5C registration document.
