Registration – TAN 215S
Chassis No. – GHN5-444218G
M.O.T. – Exempt
Odometer – 49,311
Finished in British Racing Green with contrasting tan interior trim, this late production example presents as a smart and usable example of the ever popular British open top sports car. The paintwork displays a pleasing finish and is complemented by alloy wheels and period brightwork. The interior is trimmed in tan with matching door cards and carpets, set against a walnut dashboard fascia and sporting steering wheel, retaining the character and charm associated with the model.
The odometer currently displays 49,311 miles, although this reading cannot be warranted. The history file accompanying the car is extensive and includes restoration correspondence, invoices and previous maintenance records. Documentation on file references the vehicle having been stripped and refinished in earlier ownership, with attention given to the bodyshell, suspension, engine and gearbox. Numerous invoices are present together with historic M.O.T certificates. In addition, a quantity of spare parts and components are included within the sale, as shown, further enhancing the appeal for the next custodian.
First introduced in 1962, the model became one of Britain’s most successful sports cars, remaining in production for nearly two decades. The later examples offered improved refinement while retaining the simple mechanical layout and engaging driving characteristics that have long defined the model. With strong club support and excellent parts availability, these cars remain a cornerstone of accessible classic motoring.
