Descrição
I am absolutely delighted to be associated with this vehicle again. It has had just three keepers and I have sold it to all of them, including when new, way back in 1998.
The last owner has been the custodian since it was just two and a half years old and it is true to say that the vehicle has led a charmed life with servicing being undertaken on a ‘no expense spared’ basis with very regular attention both mechanically and cosmetically.
A full SE specification in the beautiful colour of metallic Ruby Red with a fawn leather interior and optional red piping. In the current period of ownership, the vehicle has always been serviced by the same person, Esprit guru, Max Hurst. The full service history reads as follows…
March 1998 1606 miles SGT Taplow (supplying main dealer)
January 1999 6061 miles SGT Taplow
April 2000 13965 miles SGT Taplow
August 2000 14915 miles SGT Taplow
August 2001 21387 miles Lakeside Engineering (Max Hurst)
August 2002 25834 miles Lakeside Engineering
July 2003 27095 miles Lakeside Engineering
August 2004 29160 miles Lakeside Engineering
June 2005 30206 miles Lakeside Engineering
September 2006 32489 miles Lakeside Engineering
July 2007 33638 miles Lakeside Engineering
July 2008 35187 miles Lakeside Engineering
October 2009 36758 miles Lakeside Engineering
October 2010 37949 miles Lakeside Engineering
October 2011 39436 miles Lakeside Engineering
June 2012 40072 miles Lakeside Engineering
June 2014 43174 miles Lakeside Engineering
October 2016 45401 miles Lakeside Engineering
June 2018 46432 miles Max 500 (still Max Hurst)
March 2021 48523 miles Max 500
Should the full asking price be agreed, I will arrange for the vehicle to be serviced, prior to collection by the new owner. If the new owner wishes, I would be delighted to deliver it to Max Hurst for his continued servicing attention. Current mileage is just 49200 (less than 2000 miles per annum). The MOT certificate is valid until January 2024.
Recent tasks undertaken include, amongst other things…
New cambelts (700 miles ago)
4 x wheel refurbishment
Seat leather and piping refurbishment
New battery
Accompanying the vehicle is, of course, the fully stamped owners’ manual (now full), two sets of keys and every single service and repair invoice since 2000. Also present is every single MOT certificate since first required. An online check will confirm that the vehicle has never had so much as an MOT ‘advisory’ since online records began in 2007. The current private plate will be removed prior to sale with the vehicle reverting back to an ‘R’ registration. I have undertaken an HPI check, showing no adverse information and a copy is on file for the benefit of the next owner.
In conclusion, I am convinced that you will not find a better example, both mechanically and cosmetically, as evidenced by the images. It is a most reluctant sale, brought about by a niggling health condition.
