Our example was delivered new to its owner in France in 1993. A report indicates that it has had six owners since then. The current owner acquired it in 2014 and carried out a complete restoration by specialists. We count around 25,000 euros of mechanical and aesthetic restoration work between 2016 and today.
A complete repaint was carried out in 2017, and the body was stripped bare. The chassis and floors were sandblasted before being repainted. This franchiser is in excellent condition, as rare are on the market.

Condition:

Exterior: The bodywork, fully repainted in a "Shire Blue" shade, offers a very nice shine. The wheels have been repainted at the same time and are in near-new condition. The headlamps, bumpers and glazing are in excellent condition.

Interior: Overall, the original interior has been well preserved, while retaining its period comfort. The fabric seats look good, while the carpets show a few signs of wear due to the car's age and mileage. The headliner has recently been replaced. The dashboard is in excellent condition, and all instrumentation is functional.

Powertrain: The 4-cylinder Rover runs and starts perfectly both hot and cold. On the gearbox, gears are well guided and don't creak. Suspension and braking components are good.

Underframes : The structure and floors are very sound,photos are available on request.
