It has many original competition parts including  21" and 19" front and rear alloy wheels.

And trials-certified horn!

It's got the original speedo, but I'm wondering - what are the odds that it would work after sitting unused for 60 years?

Genuine Smiths chronometric speedometers are quite resilient. You might be surprised.

To be clear - that wasn't a sarcastic insinuation (and I know, Adrian, you weren't suggesting it was)... it was a genuine question.

And I guess the answer is, the odds are pretty good?

That horn, however... I do gotta wonder!  Is that for letting people behind you know you've just passed by?
