This R-Type Manual is described by the vendor to be in good condition with a mileage of only 34k which is corroborated by work receipts. The vendor has had the body repaired and sprayed in rich India Blue and four new tyres fitted. The chrome is good and the inside is not overly worn. It is pretty original all round although the driver's seat has been refurbished in leather. It drives well and the servo-assisted brakes are excellent implying that the low mileage may be correct.

There is an abundance of documentation from the original build sheet (Chassis B135TO with matching engine), to its supply to Russell Motors in Eastbourne, its export to USA in 1974 where it was hardly used and import back in 2015. The original UK Registration Number has been acquired and a number of mechanical items addressed so that the car is now ready to be used and enjoyed.

Note: This description is provided by the vendor and unless otherwise stated is 'Not Verified' by Barons or any person employed by Barons. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any statements made, whether they be statements of fact or opinion.
