This vehicle, British license #RDD68, called "Rod", was shipped to Phoenix, AZ, USA in July, 2005, where I purchased it. It is currently undergoing a thorough restoration including paint (black, as original), interior replacement (in Biscuit Connolly hides), and minor engine work to make it a reliable driver on western US roads. It has MC equipment, factory overdrive, original engine with good compression, and shows 53,000 miles on the odometer. It will remain RHD, and will be garaged in California upon completion of restoration approx May, 2006.
