The car is very nice condition throughout with trimmed interior not usually found on a rally spec car, everything is in full working order, a real pleasure to drive, performance is very lively and handling superb. I Bought this car a couple of years ago with the intention of competing in a few hill climbs and sprints but plans changed and the car doesn’t get used so decided to sell. The car always attracts attention and is a talking point for all those who follow RS’s. RSOC valued this car prior to fitting a £7500 dry sump system at £34000 in 2018, She is gleaming black with no rust, a few minor stone chips and that’s about it.
