Still all original. Body taken to bare metal and redone winter '04. Removal of all non-original (mirror/antenna) materials. "Scruffy driver" needed mechanical work and clutch which I did after purchasing at Christie's in '96. Now recieveing pampering and complete brake overhaul. Wonderful driver and can't wait for Spring.

I have finished what I would call a mild resotration after having owned the car for approx 10 years. Body down to bare metal and repaint (original color). Over the years I have had work done to maintain the character, including having the front end rebuilt, interior refreshed, clutch replaced and this winter had front brakes, rotors, calipers and all, replaced (original) I also had the carbs rebuilt including new bushings and shafts. The result is a fantastic driver. Strong, cool and smooth. The car has approx 62,000 miles thought to be very accurate (when I bought 10 years ago it has 51,000+). I have upgraded the radio and the engine cooling (high capacity fan). All matching numbers and I am told by my mechanic (Ed Miller) that the engine appears never to have been apart. I believe, having looked around, this is the earliest LHD 4.2 in existance, and perhaps the oldest 4.2 period. Would be interested in knowing if anyone is aware of #'s 1E10001 through 1E10009 being anywhere.
