Sellers description:
This car is a great driver and beautiful to look at. This car was modified by the previous owner. The original car was a coupe that was shipped to England. The mechanics at the shop transformed it into the convertible with right hand drive that you see. The car was then shipped to Vancouver, British Columbia. I have all the pictures that they provided that show the tranformation. The owner did not like the 73' interior and he changed it to reflect one of the 60's interior. I purchased the car (on e-bay) in 2003. I had it inspected by a reputable restoration shop on Michigan and performed a number of minor repairs. The odometer does not work and I have only put about 1000 miles on it since 2003. The original owner claimed to have rebuilt the engine which sounds and runs well but I cannot gaurantee that it was. The tires are Dunlop 205 x 70 R 15 and were on the vehicke when I purchased it. I have an automatic transmission that is available (free) to the purchaser. The car is a beautiful silver blue color. The inetrior is a dark blue. While not a show car (but could easily be) this is definitely an exciting car and gets a lot of stares and compliments.
