This 1969 example is notable for its provenance and originality. It has had just three registered keepers from new, with the current owner acquiring it in 1996 from an enthusiast who had kept it for the preceding two decades. That previous keeper, a knowledgeable car man who also collected Model T Fords, had purchased it from the original owner when the car was just three years old.

The vendor describes the car as essentially original throughout, with the interior presenting well and the mechanicals reported to be in good order. It has been serviced approximately annually, and a preservation-first approach has been taken throughout. Plenty of cash has been invested over the past decade, resulting in, we're told, a truly sweet-running classic.
