It has good get up and go and awesome gas mileage, what is not to like? This is a QUALITY CAR THAT IS READY TO ENJOY !!
At the heart of this BRITISH BEAUTY is the STRONG - APPEARS ORIGINAL - FRESH PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT - "A Series" 948 CC - Inline Four cylinder motor that is running VERY WELL indeed.
