This car is in a particularly rare and interesting state of origin. It is an US export model with a followed history since 1970, when it was bought by a couple from Reno, Nevada, for their honeymoon. They used the car for four years, till the first child arrived, and it then remained garaged till 2012, when it was purchased by Tom and Randee Rocke, of Healey Lane. Specialists of this model, they decided to preserve the car in its original state and to avoid a restoration that would destroy its charm, while doing the necessary work to get the car restarted: complete cleaning, mechanical overhaul and a new exhaust. Since then, the car has found a new owner who has re-imported it to Europe and has carried out several additional work in 2016 for more than € 6, 000, including a brakes and dashboard wood repair and the replacement of the carpets, the steering wheel and the tires. The body is in a very sound condition and the underbody is well preserved. The car comes with its original tools and jack, and it displays just 21, 850 miles since new.
The condition of this car is exceptional, featuring the traces of a wonderful lifetime, which no restoration is ever capable to reproduce.
