This is one of the rare early cars with the vertical filler cap.
It was last on the road 36 years ago and had sat in a barn all that time but the owner has now passed away (hence no V5 or keys)

Its pretty much complete with most missing bits in the boot, body is pretty good but as I say needs lots of work including welding in the usual places, though rear axle mounts etc look good.”
