- Now finished in Lake Blue and White with colour matched steel wheels wrapped in whitewall tyres
- White vinyl seats with blue piping to the front and the rear is fitted with matching white bench seats with blue piping and buttons, gingham curtains, matching carpets and cushions along with blue storage units
- Supplied with its original Bill of Sale and sales brochure, original instruction manual with stamped service book, numerous invoices and previous MOTs, along with a book of hand-written notes for work completed
