This example being a 71 car makes it one of the last cars to be built before production ended in March 1971. Fastforward to 2017 the car was acquired by a keen marque expert who carried out a 2 year restoration which was completed 2019. The works were photographed and documented at each point of importance. These works included; - Removing the engine and all ancillary items from the engine compartment - Tripping the body of all fittings etc - Fully repainting the body in gleaming Gunmetal Grey The car also benefits from a significant amount of mechanical refreshment which were carried out by marque specialists - the total cost was over £42,000 which is all documented on file. This example stands proudly, the panel fitment is superb, the swage lines crisp and crucially sharp down both sides of the car just as it did in '71'. On the button and ready for its next adventure down the Routes-Nationales with their tall poplar trees lining the long straights.
