This looks like a lovely example of one of my former cars, although mine was red, and were it not for the transport issues and the gearbox I would be very tempted: :-D
I adored mine, although the Cruise Control was a trifle crude, you had a locking cable like a choke attached to the throttle pedal.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

I was only very recently that I threw away an aftermarket version of this type of cruise control.......fitted it from one car to the next for a few years, then gave in.

I drove an ancient Volvo PV 444 from Borås to Stockholm and back that was fitted with such a cruise control. It had a spotlight on the roof operated from inside too, like old American cop cars.

This is the same colour as mine was:
One of my favourites from days gone by.
