It is also fitted with a highly sought-after C-Type cylinder head and large-diameter stainless steel exhaust system. For those looking for an early example in good condition, you need look no further...

Seller advises that the electric choke may need adjustment as the car is used and run in

The engine has been properly run-in; the car is highly performant.
