The chrome and brightwork has been polished and refinished, the drivetrain has been rebuilt to factory specification and a new wiring harness was fitted. The interior is appointed in dark green full leather and is factory correct in both material selection and presentation. It is also equipped with\u00a0matching green fitted luggage stored in the trunk. Its history purports that it was retained by the factory for promotional purposes and sold to its first owner in 1963.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon

It featured an independent front suspension and a semi-independent swing axle arrangement in the rear. Massive drum brakes insured ultimate stopping power.
