V5 Present in my name
87090 miles
4 former keepers
Owned by be since 2003, has only done 65 miles since last MOT in August 2003, it was in good running order.
Due to lack of time ended up in the garage, minor jobs done over the years but never quite ending up back on the road
I’m the wrong side of 66 now, so its time for a new home ( The Car and Me)
The person I bought it off purchased it from Bygone Autos in Birkenhead in 2001 ( they don’t exist any more) and had it for 2 years.

However an internet search suggests this is / was a GOLD Seal engine ( see pictures, BHM 1111 Prefix)
It has been started and taken out of the garage on occasions”
