Maintenance & restoration
- —Restoration
A comprehensive restoration was carried out at an unspecified date, resulting in a silver exterior with black beltline and red pinstripe, black soft top with red piping, and a red leather interior. Chrome work, panel fit, and wire wheels are all reported to be of high quality.
The restoration is described as thorough and extensive, and is said to still present well at the time of cataloguing.
