This is a rare find — a manual Aero 3-door Coupe — getting increasingly hard to come by.
I’m currently waiting for the DVLA to process the plate transfer (sent V5 and application by post), so depending on timing, the original plate may or may not have been reassigned yet.
Any questions, feel free to message me here!This is one of my dream cars, and when I bought it, I was in the position to give it some due care and attention. Since then I have got into a full time apprenticeship, draining any free time from my life, additionally I have been spending £450 a month on fuel in this thing due to the milage, when realistically, I should be saving.
If you want a usable summer project or a weekend car, this will be the perfect choice.
I'll be sad to see her go, but this is what I've got to do.
