Navy blue with new grey leather interior,this car was purchased brand new by the then chairman of the AA,Sir Alastair Durie and kept in his family for some 40 years! .
The car was garaged from new and has undergone a light cosmetic restoration with marque specialists roger edwards.it comes complete with all
original hanbooks,toolkit,spare wheel,spare keys etc.The car has only
covered some 59,000 miles and has most mot's to substantiate this.There is a large service history file with a fully stamped service book.This is a totally original motor car in superb condition which in my opinion is a sure fire investment.The car is stored in west london
and i would welcome serious inquiries only pls.

If it's as genuine as the description would indicate, then it's probably not too bad a buy given most of the ones that are £30000 are actually pretty poor.
It's not difficult tospend £20,000 trying to make a good car out of a bad one.

and let's hope for a weaker pound, so things could even look better in $ or €... :D

Our car is identical - blue and grey and it is a smooth combination. Looks even better in the flesh.

Interestingly, my car is navy blue with biscuit leather and although not in showroom condition is an amazing drive. I was advised by a major dealer to put £65000 on mine were I to sell it. I'm not selling and I think it's a bit rich but it does show you that the values are up on good cars.
