Description

An exceptional car. 27 years old and everything works. Had a 1500 mile tour earlier in the year - absolutely nothing raised any issues and 34 mpg! The car has had a couple of dormant periods in its life and has been fully serviced after each. It had a head gasket replaced in 2020. I think the car was built after the self destructive electric cable insulation issues as we've not had any electrical gremlins. Head unit has been replaced - for Bluetooth etc, old one is still with the car. Bodywork is near immaculate, there are a couple of tiny marks, but the hard top which typically suffers corrosion on the leading edge is perfect; soft top is also in good condition. Interior is great, slight wear on drivers seat bolster. Got new Continental tyres all around (inc spare); the wheels are showing some corrosion, but to refurbish them would result in the outer rim being painted as they cant be diamond cut back to the same state. I will get it MoT'd before sale. Its already a classic and will only become more classic as time passes. We have loved being the custodian of this car, but its time for us to try something different and for someone else to enjoy this. Private plate is included. Next MOT due 23/08/2024, Part service history, Silver, 3 owners, £17,500
