Body & Paintwork:
As you would expect, the Aubergine paintwork is 100% original, and is in very nice order, the paint has never been machine polished.
All the panels are original, without damage.

All trims are in great condition, the badges, and lights are all unmarked.
Rubbers are as new, with no perishing of the door rubbers, aerial base etc.

A very nice example, of what is now a very sought after and rare car.


Interior & Trim:
This is an area that a lot of these cars wear badly over time.

This example is extremely good inside as you would fully expect from the low mileage.

The seats are simply superb, with no signs of any wear at all, and the rear seats look as thought they have never been sat in.

All carpets are without any marks, and floor mats are still in place.

Dashboard is unmarked, and original stereo is still in place, along with original gear knob and steering wheel, all of which are in new condition.
Everything works as it should do, and the overall appearance is still fantastic.


Engine:
This engine has barely been ‘ran in’ with such low mileage.
Whisper quiet from cold, with no tapping from cold which is common on these engines.

The car has clearly been cherished and loved, and the engine bay is simply lovely, without any modifications and as it left the showroom.

Driving this car is an absolute pleasure, the gearbox is nice and tight, the clutch is fantastic and performance is good, exactly as it should be.


Running Gear:
All running gear is in fantastic order throughout – driving exactly as it should do.

The underside has had waxoil applied at some point in time, but it is clear this has been done to ‘preserve’ rather than ‘hide’.
A small area which we cleaned just to see what it would potentially clean like if a buyer chose that route, looks great.

Brakes are superb standard items, and have no judder at all.
All suspension is without fault, and still in original paint.

The wheels are in unmarked original condition, with original tyres still fitted.
