Description

Much loved sports car. I've had her since 1999. The engine was replaced twice so the current mileage shown on the meter is much higher than the actual mileage. But, in any case, I had this engine fully reconditioned a couple of years ago - everything was replaced and so the engine was new again. The engine is very powerful and I haven't done much mileage since it was fully reconditioned which cost two thousand (I have the receipt for that). Because the car is old - 30 next year! - it would be better suited to an enthusiast and someone who is handy at doing their own repairs. She is a 'pre-facelift widebody'. To my knowledge there is nothing wrong with the car mechanically and she's just passed the MOT. But through standing not being driven much there's a noise when turning the wheel at corners, I'm going to drive her until this is gone. As the doors have been replaced there are now 3 keys and there is no central locking. The glove box door is missing. Since the photos were taken there is more rust on the sills, but these are not that expensive to replace. The main photo was taken 3 days ago, the others about a year ago when she was valeted. There is a Weissman hardcopy on her, which I know are rare. There is a soft top underneath in a beige colour. I haven't had the hardtop off for a lot of years but presuming it's still ok. It had some staining and a bit of fraying back then and I had it cleaned which looked better but still not great. I've kept her a long time since she ceased to be my main car, many years ago, as she has sentimental value for me. But I hardly drive at all now so can't keep two cars going. I believe she will soon be a vintage car. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.
