Garaged all it's Life and has survived extremely well !
It was driven literally once a week for 20 years and then taken off the road by the Elderly Lady Owner in 1998 and discovered tucked away in a garage in 2020 by the previous owner who started re-commissioning it, I took ownership midway through the recommission and have driven it around 4000 Miles in the past 18 months and is now ready for it's 3rd owner to drive!
It recently had it's first MOT in 25 years and is MOT'd Until March 20th 2025!!

The interior is in Original Excellent Condition with some wear to the drivers seat - I don't think anybody has ever sat in the Passenger or rear seats as they are like new!
It is all original inside, everything works as it should, even the original radio works !
Headlining and carpets are Excellent as is the Golde Manual Sliding Sunroof!
It has been in my garage for the past several months and will need a polish as the paint is dull in a few places.
