THE APPEAL

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

• It was first registered in 1993
• Purchased by the current vendor in 2018
• First owned by National Grid, so likely that this car was initially used as a company vehicle
• In 2007, the owner decided to make it into a vehicle that replicated the car run in 1995 by Total Team Peugeot driven by Patrick Watts
• The next owner, stripped the interior and installed the roll cage, bucket seats, wheels and suspension
• It had been used to travel across Europe and attend various events, changing owners a few times and ending up in storage in 2012 where it stayed until the current vendor purchased it in 2018
• OBD is showing 155,550
• The car’s most recent MOT is clean and free from advisories
• We are informed by the vendor that any maintenance work was carried out on their own

THE INTERIOR

• Simple uncomplicated interior
• Fully race or track day ready
• Rare Sparco Competition roll cage that is believed to be period correct 
• Well presented interior with minimal to no signs of aging
• Grey suede 320mm steering wheel presents well
• The steering wheel is also quick release meaning easy access in and out of the vehicle
• All the gauges, switches and electronics within the vehicle are said to be working as they should do
• That being said, only the driver’s window works, as all the other doors have had the window mechanisms removed, because race car.
• Corbeau bucket seats and Sparco harnesses present – these were FIA approved but the dates have now expired
• Stripped interior, where the rear bench was there is now a roll cage
• The dashboard is very simple but looks marvellous and presents really well
• Safety cut off switch is present on the centre console as well as a 12V to charge your phone or any other electrical devices
• There is no carpet within the vehicle
• Floor pan is in good condition throughout showing no signs of rust
• The battery has been replaced, removed from the engine bay, re-routed to the boot and secured via a competition battery box

THE EXTERIOR

• Paintwork is looking sorry for itself in places but we feel this adds to the race car aesthetic. 
• The overall presentation of the bodywork is excellent. 
• There are some imperfections to be aware of. The OSR arch is coming away from the bodywork. 
• We are informed that the car is totally free from rust with all the panels that were corroded being changed by a previous owner. 
• The body panels look nice and straight with no signs of damage or corrosion. 
• The glass and sills are in overall good condition and are holding up well considering the age of the vehicle
• Underneath, the car looks to be in good, relatively clean condition with no obvious evidence of serious corrosion
• All lights are presenting well
• The vendor tells us that the sunroof blank has been replaced as the older one was leaking and letting in moisture
• Extras include, identical copies of the front and rear spoilers of the 1995 race car that they used at the end of that season
• Team Dynamic wheels are present on the current car and look to be in good condition
• There is also a fibreglass front lip and rear spoiler that comes with the vehicle, these have yet to be fitted to the car but would complete the full BTCC aesthetic once fitted

• Said to start and run well, with no reported mechanical issues to note
• The vendor reports that the car starts on the button and is one of the best cars that they have owned
• The car is capable of being used at a track day and making it back home under its own steam
