Two service books and a stack of invoices (9 Bell and Colvill, 4 Guglielmi Motorsport, 3 others) Stored between 2015 and 2021, recommissioned by Guglielmi Motorsport in 2021 (inc fuel tank, battery, fuel pump, gear bushes, brake fluid, gearbox output seal and temp sensors). Serviced twice since Last serviced April 2024 (around 1,500 miles ago) MOT due 1st August 2025, but I'll extend to 12 months at time of sale if required Niggles Here are a few minor things (already reflected in the price) I'd make perfect if I was keeping the car. Door window waist seal rubber bubbling. Replacements cost 100, plus some scuffed knuckles to fit The underside of the front clam has some scratches (due to the ride height from the factory). Not visible unless you crawl underneath A few pimples in the paint on the engine lid and the top, inside edge of the doors. One of the wheels has a 1" kerb surface scrape and the others have one or two very small (2mm?) nicks in the lacquer. Not perfect, but not bad enough to need a refurb. One centrecap has faded Two sets of keys Will revert to X219KON Inspection welcome
