I've spent close to £2,000 ensuring the car remains in great mechanical condition and continues to drive exactly as it should.
The Honest Bits -in the spirit of transparency:
Passenger seat recline is limited (common issue on these - I did find another from breakers yard but it has the same issue!)
Bit of rear headline sagging on passenger side
Air conditioning is not cold
Minor age-related marks as expected for a car of this age and stone chips
