    Nice car with some small details not period correct and an imho ambitious price tag.

    Depending on all other parts, matching no, original VIN plate and body no tag, the car would benefit from:

    - paint back to original colour

    - correctly painted head

    - period correct brake and clutch reservoir caps (currently all non period correct repros)

    - removal of arm rests from doors

    - replacement of steering wheel and horn push ( on period correct and at least horn push repro)

    - adjusting or replacing dash top

    - more?

    How can it be "noted for being in original condition" if it has had a "concours restoration" and is not its original colour ?

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
