Comments from the seller

After nearly a decade of cherished ownership, it is time to thin out the collection. I am only parting with this "lovely lady" because I currently have more classics than I can effectively maintain and drive. This is the sought-after 2.5L straight-six paired with the rarer 4-speed manual gearbox. For improved reliability and throttle response, the original Zenith carburetors have been upgraded to Webers. (The original Zeniths are included in the sale should the new owner wish to recondition them). Gearbox has been fully reconditioned by a gear box mechanic. With all engine electrics refreshed a few years ago and consistent annual servicing, she is a turn-key driver. Though used regularly, she’s only seen short local trips, keeping the annual kilometers low. Condition: The body and paint present very well. While the interior trim would benefit from some attention to bring it up to the standard of the exterior and mechanicals, the car remains an absolute pleasure to drive exactly as it sits.
