The mileage display is pixelated; a common fault. It’s currently showing 139k but if you look back at the MOT history there seems to have been an issue with the display for a long time. Personally, this didn’t concern me.

I’ve owned it since May 2021, since then I’ve fitted new front brake calipers, discs, pads and braided brake hoses.
Braided brake hoses for the rear will be included but haven’t been fitted.

It’s also had an oil change and a brake fluid change during my ownership.

When I bought it the radio and the on board display weren’t working. I’ve since acquired the parts to get the radio and display working, but it does still need a sat nav module, phone card reader and cd changer if you want those features to work, although it hasn’t bothered me.

It does need some jobs doing;

The ABS light is on; it needs a new nearside front sensor.

New clips are needed for the side skirts as most of them seem to be broken.

Headliner is sagging; a common problem.

Sunroof sometimes sticks.

Will need a couple of tyres soon.

Bodywork isn’t perfect but remember it is a 23 year old car, there are some marks and small rust bubbles on the arches which is common to these cars. The nearside front wing has been knocked at some point. I can send more photos of these issues.

Reluctant sale but my other car needs an engine rebuild, so this has to go to fund it.

This is a rare car which frequently gets nods of approval from fellow enthusiasts and even the odd ‘thumbs up’ from people passing by! I will miss it.
