Description

FSH (see photos), including cambelt replacement. Low mileage and a fantastic colour. Standard 180 BHP with no remap. Fitted with Sabelt seats. Private plate is included, this was already on the car. No running issues at all, and the air con blows cold. Comes with a full year MOT until 22nd April 2027, passed with no advisories. In addition to the Competizione spec, it also includes: A full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres (fitted prior to my ownership), showing good care from the previous owner and with plenty of tread remaining. The roof and rear light inserts have been wrapped in black vinyl. An Akrapovic backbox, originally available only on later models. The previous Monza exhaust had rusted, so this was a worthwhile upgrade (over 2,000 new!!). The valve is permanently open but can be easily adjusted underneath near the rear left wheel. It sounds great open, but not overly loud, and with no drone. A Kenwood head unit has replaced the original 5-inch system. It includes radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and avoids the common mileage flashing issue seen after head unit swaps. The USB charger remains fully functional. An Airtec induction kit is currently fitted (see engine bay photo), mainly for improved sound. The original BMC airbox and filter are included and can be refitted if preferred. In my opinion, the induction noise is spot onnoticeable without the excessive "whoosh" associated with some kits like Forge. This system retains the recirculation line rather than venting to atmosphere. While some suggest this may increase heat soak, I've never noticed any loss of performance, even on 3+ hour drives. This has been a weekend car, not tracked. Reason for sale: I've recently bought a house and no longer need two cars, so the fun one has to go to help fund home improvements, reluctantly. During my ownership, I've covered around 4,000 miles. It's had a Selenia oil change and NGK spark plugs at 21k miles, carried out by Italian specialist Auto Sportivo. Negatives: - Rear discs are nearing replacement, although there's currently no noise or reduction in braking performance. I have new Brembo discs, pads, and rear bearings (required for access), which will be included in the sale. - Front discs are in a similar condition-no issues now, but will need doing in the future. There's no need to overspend on floating discs (800+); suitable replacements can be sourced for under 300. - Some marks on the front bumper, as shown in the photos.
