The 1965 example of the BJ8, which has been converted to right hand drive format, has been totally restored and is in exceptional condition throughout. It was totally stripped to bare metal and then properly and completely resprayed and it has had all the chrome renewed, black leather trim added, new carpets, a new hood and new glass fitted. All the mechanical aspects of the car have been overhauled, or rebuilt where necessary and the car comes on wire wheels with new tyres.

Although currently unregistered this superb car does come with it's C&E 386 and title document, the MOT certificate and the Heritage certificate and it should enable the new lucky owner to register the car easily.

HBJ830532 indicates an original right-hand drive vehicle. If, as the text indicates, it has been converted to right-hand drive from left-hand drive, then the VIN should be HBJ8L/30532 since the VIN doesn't change when the steering wheel is moved to the other side of the car. The "L" indicates an original left-hand drive car.
