The history file accompanying this example is extensive, detailing ongoing improvements including a light restoration in 1991/92 have contributed to this original right hand drive fixed head model. According to the JDHT certificate, it was delivered new to Mr G Martinson with England cricketer and coach, Graeme Fowler taking delivery more recently and John Bintcliffe, Audi Team racing driver taking the wheel prior to the vendor. In 1999 rear bearings were replaced as well as cap-leads, plugs, bulbs and filters, new tyres and front shock absorbers were fitted. In 2000 it had a full engine and gearbox rebuild with new valve guides and bearings. This included a carburettor rebuild and new exhaust manifold, a new Borg and Beck clutch, and all hoses and fan belts replaced.

In 2011/12 all suspension bushes, ball joints and tie rod ends were replaced along with new rear shock absorbers and front torsion bars. The steering column was rebuilt alongside a completely new interior and up to date radio/CD/MP3 unit. In the last 12 months it has had new front disc brakes, overhauled front suspension with new shock absorbers, front and rear as well as rear springs, new radiator and cowling, and new clutch. Complete witha fresh MoT certificate and plenty of books and manuals, this most classic of sporting coupes is well priced, well put together and well documented.
