Maintenance / underside:
Supercharger service and water pump carried out less than 3,000 miles ago.
Serviced within 500 miles ago and just had brand new rear discs and Brembo pads fitted (not shown in pics).
The underside has had extensive restoration work, including the subframes being stripped, painted and protected, alongside the replacement/ upgraded suspension components.
The car has covered relatively little mileage since much of the work was completed. It was in dry storage for most of the last 5 years.
Selling because I have bought another car.
I bought the car because I wanted an R53 that had already had the right sort of work done to it, rather than buying a standard car and starting from scratch. This one stood out because of the low mileage and the amount that had already been spent on the mechanical side of the car.
