THE PAINT AND BODYWORK ARE VERY FAR FROM PERFECT AND SHOW IMPERFECTION BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY DECENT AND IT COULD LIKELY USE A GOOD BUFFING AFTER THE PAINT CURES IN A FEW MONTHS. THIS CAR IS VERY SOLID AND THE ENGINE RUNS GREAT AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WONDERFULLY. THE CLUTCH IS STRONG AND MOST EVERYTHING MECHANICAL HAS BEEN REPLACED OR REFURBISHED. THIS WILL MAKE SOMEONE A WONDERFUL CLASSIC BRITISH SPORTSCAR!!

THE PAINT AND BODYWORK IS NOT SHOW QUALITY BUT TO THE NORMAL EYE IT LOOKS RELLY NICE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.
