Nice looking car, glad to see it has what looks like the original engine rather than a swap to an American V8.
Is this price range high?
According to the Hagerty Price Guide this one is right in the range.
While I think this is a good looking car there is something about the headlight design that is not as attractive as the rest of the car.
I like the way this one sits, I have seen them in the past and they look too far off the ground. I wonder how it does against the AC ACE?
