The comfortable perforated leather seats are in great condition throughout the car, there is however some marginal wear to the driver's bolster. On the whole, however, these seats are excellent, the rear look like they’ve never been sat in, and the front two electrically operated memory seats still work as they should.

The rest of the paint however has been recently clay barred and waxed to help protect the paint for the future.
Much like the paint condition, the alloys are now presented in amazing condition. The current owner has made sure that these have been properly restored, as they weren’t in the best condition when you looked closer.
