Description
The previous owner purchased the car in 2011 from Mel’s Garage in Enköping. A major service was carried out in 2016, during which certain parts were replaced (see receipt). The most recent inspection was also done in 2016, and under current regulations, the car is exempt from both tax and inspection.
The current owner acquired the car in January 2020 and has since used it only sparingly. It remains in excellent condition, and the extensive restoration has held up very well over time. Unfortunately, it was not possible to inspect the car on a lift, but there are no indications of damage or rust.
