• As with all R107s, the boot is large and practical, finished with beige carpeting and also containing a full-size spare alloy wheel as well as the toolkit

The Exterior

• Petrol Green Blue Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition for the age and mileage – clearly having been well cared for over the years, it wears a deep gloss and only a few minor blemishes
• All of the body panels look neat and straight, with no hints of damage or corrosion, crisp lines and even, consistent panel gaps and shut lines
• The brightwork all appears to be present and correct, showing a fine lustre that belies the car’s age
• All of the badging and external trim shows in fine condition, with just a small nick to the rubber of the near-side rear bumper and a slight scuff to the near-side front bumper
• There is a black fabric roof which is in fine fettle, with no tears, obvious wear or UV damage we could discern
• The removable hardtop is in nice condition, with a small amount of bubbling to the lower edge – it comes complete with a protective and padded stand for easy storage
• We’re told the bulkhead has been inspected by the vendor’s mechanic and given a clean bill of health
• Twin front fog lights and headlamp wipers
• Underneath the car looks very straight and tidy, with no signs of corrosion, damage or any other problems – it has also been neatly undersealed
• Original 14-inch ‘Mexican hat’ alloy wheels look lovely, with no kerbing or scuffing we could see, and they’re shod with a decent set of tyres that look to have good tread
