SUMMARY

Very well presented, left-hand drive, 'Splittie' previously owned by TV personality, Chris Evans.

DESCRIPTION

First registered in 1960, this 'Splittie' was imported from California in 2007 and later acquired by its current owner from TV personality, Chris Evans

Looking Summer fresh in Marina Blue topped by Pastel White. Fitted with a full-length 'Westy' roof rack and side steps
An extensive restoration was carried out in 2007, including a top-end engine rebuild, gearbox and brake overhauls. More recently it has benefited from a new clutch, upgraded alternator, and battery
The interior is trimmed in a body-matching light blue and off-white colour scheme, complemented by beige carpeting. It includes a surfboard-style table and two drop-down 'buddy' seats, creating a relaxed and sociable cabin environment
Supplied with numerous invoices for its time in UK, it's clear how loved this classic has been
