From the seller: “Supplied new by Howletts of Lavenham in 1977 to a local farmer for his wife , used until late 80s / early 90s then it went into storage container until last week. It was bought from the the lady’s family, it has only done 26k from new, i have the service book but no v5 , it will have to be applied for .
It has been a local car to me all its life .
It has been started and it runs well but the clutch needs attention , the bodywork has micro blistering so will probably need a full strip down and respray , there are some shallow dents in the roof and rear panel, all collected while in storage ,
The interior is excellent , its got high back seats fitted from factory , all original.”
