We're pleased to offer this timeless Series III Roadster which has been subtly enhanced to be the perfect cross country tourer. Supplied by Hewitts Garage of Wolverhampton in August 1974, it wore then as it does now Dark Blue coachwork with Biscuit leather interior accompanied by a factory hardtop in the body colour. This car was bare metal resprayed in 2010 by Classic Motor Cars at a cost of over £22,000. At a similar time , the interior was retrimmed, a new mohair roof fitted, and air conditioning installed.

Offered from over eleven years of diligent ownership, this car has completed several memorable trips into Europe, and consequently, the owner did not shy from spending money on the car to make it just right. The most notable enhancements in this period include the fitment of a manual gearbox conversion in 2013, a subsequent cylinder head rebuild by Rob Beere Engineering in 2017, Kelly Bray power steering, new MWS wire wheels and purchase of a complete set of Hillsalive fitted luggage. Immediately before the sale the rear tyres were replaced.
