I just completed restoration of P2R28133, so on 5/12/2023, I bought this car from Gullwing Motor Cars. It appears to be extremely original, and based on the white striped/lettered Pirelli tires, this car has not been on the road in a very long time. The car belonged to a man in New Jersey who passed away in 2022. It is not running, and has significant rust on the floors and outer sills. Nothing I haven't fixed on my other car! This car is actually a 1969 model, although the title erroneously show 1970. Not sure how they screwed that up.

The odometer shows 06858 miles, which is likely not correct. The car doesn't look like it has been driven over 100K miles, but I will investigate further when I actually take possession.

This car will be stripped to bare metal, bad metal replaced, and painted any color but brown. I'm thinking about dark blue with beige interior, It should be beautiful!

Car body shell, bonnet, doors, and trunk lid are now at the paint stripping facility. A custom rotisserie is being built in the meantime.

The rotisserie is complete, and the body has been stripped and de-rusted.

The rear suspension unit, including rear brakes and differential has been rebuilt. New shocks, brake pistons, rotors, pads, seals, tubes, and hose. Differential got all new bearings, seals, and Powr-Lok clutch pack. The differential backlash and pinion/ring gear contact pattern were verified. Rear suspension got new wheel bearings, pivot bearings, U-joints, seals, and rubber mounts. All bearings were properly installed to achieve specified preload to end float, as applicable.

The body is in the process of being prepared for application of primer. PPG DP40LF epoxy primer will be used. The following parts were acquired from Martin Robey in England:

• Complete floor assemblies, LH & RH
