Peter is currently searching his archive for further reference material. When released to auction in 1991 39000 miles was recorded on the clock, today the mileage is 55000 Since becoming the new owner Paul has undertaken a mini restoration. Although fundamentally straight, and 90% complete, the aim was to take care of some of the rot nearly 40 years had taken, and to have ready for the 40th Anniversary Long Tan celebrations. Paul was lucky enough to have a very helpful cousin Anthony who cut, welded, straighten and fabricated new pieces for the firewall and body .Anthony being a coachbuilder by trade was also able to apply a shiny new coat of Deep Bronze Green. Although the timeframe for the mini restoration was short, two months, Paul is very pleased with the results |
