Description
I've owned and driven this car for 8 years, using it as a daily driver in the summer months.
A very usable, reliable and comfortable classic.
Smooth enough for long journeys and powerful enough for modern traffic.
Drives and handles as it should. A very sorted car.
It gets thumbs up and compliments wherever it goes.
As of this year it's Road Tax, MOT ULEZ, etc exempt.
The vehicle has benefited from continued maintenance by my motor engineer father. Compete history of this provided in service history,
-No expense spared on parts over the years.
-83000 genuine miles
Good bits/ Upgrades:
-Remote central power locking on all door and boot, on alarm plip button.
-hidden remote boot release in the cabin.
-lightweight chrome bumpers fitted front and back. (original bumpers and grill included with sale)
-custom rear exhaust finishers. Original finishers included in sale

-The interior is also in great shape with a little patina being very original, including the original floor mats.
-Sun roof
Could do with attention:
- I had planed to replace the front driver-side wing this year (rust bubbles appearing). I have a wing ready to be painted and put on.
These will come with sale.
-I'd also planned to replace the front valance at the same time (has a small hole).
-Instrument illumination lights intermittent.
- recent leather repair on drivers seat.
-This is a very bright and shiny car with a few small paint imperfections.
All in all very smart for a 40 year old vehicle.
Viewing encouraged!This car has appeared in a few photo shoots and the Odd TV show over the years.
It's a gorgeous looking thing and due to it being regularly used it drives as it should.
