This factory right hand drive example of the TE21 drophead coupe was originally delivered in the UK. It was purchased by its current owner from Altena Classic & Rally Service in the Netherlands at the beginning of the decade. Since its arrival in Australia it has been extensively serviced and maintained to the highest level with all work carried out by Jonathan Houston of Vintage Motor Garage on the Central Coast of New South Wales. VMG has an outstanding reputation as a quality preserver and restorer of classic vehicles. Recently completed work by VMG on this beautiful TE21 DHC included remedial attention to the synchromesh on the highly desirable and much sought after original factory ZF five-speed manual gearbox, the same as also fitted to another 1960s icon, the Aston Martin DB5.
