Absolutely rock solid with good panel fit and no issues.

Performed very well on test with smooth overdrive operation and lively performance from the uprated engine. The B series was completely rebuilt by Oselli less than 3000 miles ago.

The car remains tractable and pulls well from low revs, the handling positive and both clutch and brakes light and easy to use.
This car also benefits from an electric power steering conversion, which transforms the drive and is proving to be a very popular and worthwhile upgrade to many of our customers cars.
Exterior
A delight, fantastic colour and set off so well by the chrome wires, all of the trim is excellent. The red hood and tonneau are a nice touch and are of a very high quality both being in mohair.
Interior
Tastefully upgraded, the cockpit is very comfortable and has been fitted with upgraded leather trim, walnut effect dashboard trim, 12v cut off switch, power supply and a modern but discreet radio.

However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.
