there are invoices for all that work.

i think it would be hard to find a more solid car underneath, of course you can check that for yourself.
the car was rolling road tuned and it shows, it starts on the button hot or cold, it sounds great and it's a nice car to drive, it feels solid, reliable and predictable and the dump valve puts a smile on eveyones face.
all electrical items work, passenger window is slow.
lots of invoices and mot's.

bad bits:-
paint is original apart from rear quarters and isn't great.
immobiliser needs re programming
recaro interior is 34 years old and looks the same as others i've seen.

you can drive this car away and use and enjoy it for as long as you like and you can paint it when you want to in the future and you'll have a nice car.
please don't waste my time, i don't have any to waste.
test drive only with valid insurance
