It was laid up in a heated garage in 1984 and recommissioned in 2020. The following work was carried out at this time to return the car to a useable condition, but keeping the originality as far as possible:
The engine and Stromberg carburettors were rebuilt,
New clutch plate and clutch / brake cylinders,
New uprated core radiator,
New hood,
New carpets
Refurbished the wheels and fitted new tyres.
The car is incredibly original from the chassis to the correct stickers in the engine bay and on the rear parcel shelf. 90% of the paintwork is original, there are flaws in the paintwork (no blistering) but presents well. Most of the interior again is original, with the correct seat belts and dashboard (wooden fuse plate supplied).
Most examples at this age have received varying degrees of restoration, this is maybe, one of those rare unrestored examples that is better kept as it is but in a usable condition.
