There are only 4 in total known today, this one being the only one on the road. Restored in the early 1970s and is now in “original” worn condition, however the engine

The last owner of NEL514 bought this 2.5 litre motor car in 1978 for the purpose of European touring, after owning a 1.5 litre Riley Kestrel for many years.
Over the years the car has been upgraded, the ash frame was renewed, brakes overhauled, the engine rebuilt, a Webasto sun roof fitted, leather refurbished, new headlining fitted (at this very moment) and a refurbished original 1953 overdrive fitted.
The car has been repainted some years ago.
In very presentable condition throughout, a long legged touring car, happy in today’s motoring climate.
