Description:

Although now appearing very tatty due to badly crazed paintwork, this car was the object
of a complete restoration in the mid 80s by the Gordon Keeble Car Centre in the U.K. which included a
chassis replacement and conversion to rack and pinion with revised front geometry. The car was
purchased by a U.S. Naval Officer who commissioned the restoration. The suspension was completely
rebushed and hubs resealed and repacked. All brake lines were replaced and servoes rebuilt, calipers
rebuilt, and the pedal box rebuilt. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt. The receipts for all the
work accompany the car.
