All works carried out by SouthwestSplitz based near Exeter in Devon during lockdown for the previous owner who spent circa 16k on the vehicle I have the receipts.
The car drives lovely with nice tight gearbox and virtually brand new engine We bought the car in June 2023 .
Currently on a personal plate which will be removed for sale and it will return to Y187GAE.
It is a genuine solid car that was built to be a useable classic. Sale due to knee problems that prevent us using a manual car. This car draws loads of attention and looks and sounds great we bought it as a summer classic and regret having to sell it but driving a manual is painful. The Porsche wheels and seats make it very special looking and the modified engine and gearbox mean it is very useable and sounds great.
