The most

This 1955 BN1 is one of the last to be built, restored and finished in the correct factory colour of Carmine Red and black on black leather. It is otherwise as it left the factory mechanically, with the exception of the gearbox which is a BN2 4-speed unit with overdrive.

Professionally stored away from moisture and used sparingly since being imported from the US to Europe in 2016, it is in very good condition inside and out. The fit of the panels and attention to detail is evident from the photographs. A recent mechanical overhaul means it will be delivered to the new buyer in perfect running order, while an FFVE certificate and BMIHT are indications of excellent provenance.
