SUMMARY
From 43 years ownership with just 33,266 warranted miles on the clock.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1958, the P5 3-litre was powered by a 115bhp, 2995cc straight-six
- On offer from 43 years of ownership, this delightful Mk1 3-Litre has covered just 33,268 miles
- Just one previous keeper who owned it up until 1979 when it was purchased by our vendor with just 13,000 miles indicated
- Fully restored and undersealed 30 years ago, dry stored and barely used since covering only 20,000 more miles in the last 43 years
- Supplied with all of its original books and an extensive history file with previous MOTs and even the original tool kit
- Our long-term owner assures us that it hasn't seen a drop of rain in over 30 years as illustrated by our images of the car's underside
- A remarkable opportunity. One of the best early-production, Mk1 cars we have ever seen
