Production records show that this TD was an export market right-hand drive example that was delivered to the United States. The vendor bought the TD in the USA and imported it into England in 1995. The car was restored back to its original factory red paintwork with cream leather interior and has covered a mere 9,000 since. The enthusiast owner has ensured the TD has been kept in fine fettle and reports it to run and drives exceptionally well.
