Looking at the photos of the car in Alloa it does look in exceptional condition and commensurate with a well cared for low mileage example. The same spec as my old 1455 apart from the S had twin carburetors where that is single and will be quite pedestrian. It also has the rubber floor mats - as mine did - and does make for quite a noisy cabin. My father had a 1971 145S and that had carpets as standard and much , much quieter.

All in all that does look good and would be an ideal enthusiasts weekend car and one that I would buy for nostalgia, but would not want to run it as a daily.
