Highlights
- Very low mileage of 34,000 miles from new

- Serviced by marque specialist in 2022 with few miles since
- Recent MOT to June 2025 with no advisories
The Appeal
This rather magnificent Crewe land yacht was the pride and joy of the seller’s father for many years and is a reluctant family sale. Finished in burgundy metallic with magnolia leather, it is an extremely low-mileage car that has had just four keepers from new.
The MOT history and service records support the low displayed mileage of 34,000 miles. The car is in good general condition, with a few cosmetic points to note. It has been off the road since the last MOT expired in June 2025 and may also require a new battery or jump start. Once sorted, you get a good, little-used example of the fine SZ model, with the added bonus of tax and MOT exemption from 1st April 2027.
The vendor says:
“The car was my dad's pride and joy. He loved driving it and took really good care of it.”
