Also, comes with Genuine Parts roof bars on Genuine Parts roof rails, two good keys and rear load space protector. A selection only of the maintenance invoices but more available. Issues: small paint bubble on side of bonnet which hasn't grown in 12 years, alloys need refurbishing if wanting a concours car, all 5 factory fitted alloys match, recent small chip on windscreen but doesn't affect MoT, DVD player not working despite refurbished in 2018 - probably not having been used since I had it refurb'ed? JLR front brake recall work undertaken, and steering link arms replaced pre-pandemic. Reason for sale: we're getting older.Price quoted is "or near offer".
