This car has been my pride and joy - "old skool" and analogue driving pleasure. I bought it from specialists JR Motor Company (Coventry) in January 2022 with 33k miles on the clock, and have enjoyed every one of the 13k or so I have put on it over 4.5yrs.
It has been properly maintained - when something was needed or recommended, it was done! - by local specialists; will be supplied with comprehensive file of all history to new owner. As a rule, when any issue cropped up I took advice to refresh at the same time - for example, a front coil spring issue was picked up during regular service, and I opted to replace the entire front suspension at the same time, to freshen up what was 18yrs old. Same for front tyres recently, plenty of tread but old in years.
This car drives beautifully, has a really nice specification with things like rear parking sensors, climate control and heated seats. The only thing I have changed from original specification is the head unit - I wanted modern connectivity and wireless Android Auto - and amplifier as was not prepared to compromise on the limited sound 'bodge' of the MOST fibre optic box connection to the original system (essentially, with that you lose fade control etc.). Two door speakers were replaced with Kicker units at the same time, as one of the original Bose tweeters had failed. What this all provides is a high-end audio setup of circa. 1k for when you aren't listening to the car's own glorious soundtrack!!
