The Interior

• Very little wear to the black upholstery
• Comfortable seats with little in the way of damage
• The carpeting presents very well with few signs of use
• Momo steering wheel in very good condition
• Sparco pedals
• Tactile polished gear knob
• Equipped with a Clarion CD stereo
• The vendor informs us that all the buttons, switches and column stalks work correctly
• The clips and seals for the roof panels are apparently in good order
• The inside of the boot looks to be in good order
• We’re informed the jack was stolen from the boot at some point but has been replaced with a non-standard item which needs to be operated with a ratchet spanner (not provided)
• Overall, this is a very smart interior and it’s hard to believe that this car is now almost thirty years old

The Exterior 

• Aftermarket fifteen-spoke alloys really suit the car as they match the colour of the roof panels
• The paint and bodywork remain very presentable
• The vendor points out a couple of small dents to the aluminium wings on the nearside of the car but these are not especially noticeable from most angles
• The body looks to be very straight and all the panels fit well
• Underneath, all looks to be very smart with no obvious signs of corrosion
• The vendor informs us that it is entirely rust free, benefiting from its life away from wet salty roads

The Mechanics 

• Turbocharged 657cc inline three DOHC
• Five-speed manual gearbox
• We’re informed that the car averages around 45 MPG
• A new front suspension brace was apparently fitted in around 2006

• At the same time as the oil service, we’re informed a new cam belt and air filter were fitted
• We’re informed that the car drives very well with no faults to report
• Vendor has various, now rare spares available at extra cost
