Car seems to be in good condition despite the fact that is hasn't been driven since 70's. So far not in running condition.

A lot of the late 64 early 65 car's were built from standard trimmed (850) shell's in the period . AJB66B Bernie's car is one of , it has it's original 65 shell.

I've seen pics of 8 EMO with the same plain trim, there again I've seen some without ! Depends what day it was ! :lol:
Has this car been 'pre-aged' then, ie restored with well used bits or has it survived like that ? I presume the former.

According to my knowledge there is very little what has been done. Refurbished with lights, stickers and registration plates. Interior is untouched. Mainly it has only been cleaned since it has been in barn the last 35+ years. It is still owned the same guy who rally with it 1972.
