First registered in Wiltshire April 1967 and used until 1979, then garaged at that time. In 1985, it was bought by a bodywork engineer in Swindon who over 15 years completely stripped it to a bare shell and rebuilt it, leaving a comprehensive album of photographs and many bills. The photos are testament to the solid bodywork, which shows no signs of rust in the panels or chassis. It has a factory fitted Webasto sunroof, stainless steel exhaust and chrome wire wheels.
