Other works carried out include fitting new horns; re-upholstering the front seats; installing new front suspension springs and shock absorbers; removing, cleaning and repairing the fuel tank; cleaning and repainting the chassis where necessary and Waxoyling; and overhauling the braking system with new pads, hoses, master cylinder, rear discs, etc. Described as in generally very good condition, driving very well, the car is offered with a history folder containing numerous receipts, MoTs and tax discs; original owner's wallet with handbook, service booklet, etc; workshop manual; sales brochure; Lucas parts book; current road fund licence; MoT to August 2014; and Swansea V5C document. A custom-made indoor cover is included in the sale and the car comes complete with full tool kit, jack and wheel brace. The provision of electronic ignition is the only notified deviation from factory specification.
