This car had been pampered most of its life. the low mileage as evident by condition. It was stated by the previous owner that it had been used at a high-end sports car/ classic car dealership as a showroom display for seven years. Upon his purchase, he had the car woken up, with fuel, braking, and electrical systems revitalized. flushing tanks and radiator, and lines etc replaced as needed.
Unfortunately there was a rather major PHYSICAL size discrepancy, and he really could not fit in this tiny vehicle. so much so that the houndstooth insert seams on the seat were damaged. and he lost interest. The installation of a radio, rt side mirror and replacement windshield washer pump was not completed. ( they are enclosed along with the tonneau cover, car cover, Tech manual and miniature spitfire model)
When I purchased a vehicle two years ago, all that was needed by me was to redo of the front seats, and install the washer pump, which I did. I did not complete the radio installation as I feel a little Brit roadsters and radios really don’t coexist well ! At the moment, I keep the automobile registered and it easily passes it’s Massachusetts state safety inspection. it’s been a great little car always reliable never let me down. So now. It’s time to pass it on. Let someone else enjoy it, also it’s getting a little small for me!
