Registration No: PEA 833F

MOT: Exempt
Just 8,500 credible miles recorded

Recent service with fresh oil, new plugs and leads
Subject to a previous bodywork restoration and repaint
Being one of the last evolutions of the MkII line (the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year), this 240 (Straight 6) example has the visually distinguishable ‘new for 1968’ slimline front and rear bumpers and also the benefits from the sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type's straight port cylinder head design. Displaying just 8,500 credible miles, 'PEA 833F' is believed to be a one owner car between 1968-2022. Subject to a previous bodywork restoration and repaint 'PEA 833F' has benefitted from much improvement in recent times, with work that includes a new headlining, some new chrome, refurbished wheels with new tyres. The engine has benefitted from a recent service that included fresh oil, new plugs and leads. A collection of invoices and old tax discs accompany the 240.
