All upgrades completed without modification to chassisThis is a unique, easy to work on vehicle. MOT and tax exempt. Upgrades undertaken by owner give a quieter, smoother ride suited for regular use. We love its practicality including towing capability. The low end high torque enables fifth gear down to 30mph, providing good fuel economy. Previous owner fitted sunroof which provides good ventilation in summer and an efficient cabin heater keeps it warm in winter. Rear bench seats with seat belts make it good for family use.
