I need to fund a health problem It is very reliable, starts first time and goes like the clappers. It handles like a true sports car and is great fun in the country lanes. There is NO rust that I can see, the car is kept in a locked dry garage And only driven on dry days, and as far as I was told previous owners have done the same. The car is not immaculate but in very good condition for a 45 year old. I have a large dossier of bills and invoices showing all the work done and many thousands of pounds spent.
