Description

We've owned this car for over 20 years since 2003. It's always been reliable, a good starter. It is now registered as a historic vehicle with DVLA and so doesn't require MOT or road tax. Despite this, we have continued to get it MOT'd and it has passed this year with two advisories (valid until 15 May 2025). Offside rear wheel was binding and it has surface rust on the offside rear. The body work is in good condition overall It also has light rust on the front and side cills. We did a major overhaul in 2013 including replacing the hood and respraying the body in the original light blue. The upholstery is original with a couple of tears on the drivers side as shown in the photos. We have all the receipts since we bought the car in 2003. Tyres in very good condition, almost new. The speedometer hasn't worked for a few years so mileage is estimated at 170,000 (suspect the fault is with the speedometer cable). It was accurate when we bought it at 144,566 so we've done approximately 1000 miles a year since then, we have kept it garaged all the time we've had it. The heating fan is faulty - we have a new one but it's not fitted. Hood handle on drivers side needs attention. We are located in South Devon near Totnes. Next MOT due 15/05/2025, Part service history, Blue, 5+ owners, £4,750
