Condition & Overview
The car had previously been off the road but has since been fully serviced and refreshed with significant investment using OEM and high-quality parts.
It now drives exactly as a sorted VR6 should smooth, responsive, and tight.
Cosmetically, the car presents well overall. The wheels would benefit from a refurb to bring them up to the same standard as the rest of the car. The car has recently been fitted with new tyres.
Additionally, due to time constraints, the car would benefit from replacement droplinks and lower arm bushes minor items that do not detract from the overall driving experience, but worth noting for full transparency.
