Condition:
Good Bits:
As shown in the attached image, the car presents very well for its age. The bodywork is clean and retains a strong shine, complemented by smart, recently refurbished alloys and a purposeful stance thanks to the Aero kit and low-profile tyres. The interior shows only light wear and retains its original blue leather, which remains supple and tidy.
Bad Bits:
There are a few age-related cosmetic imperfections, including a small car park ding on the wing and some light scuffing/ marks on the lower front bumper. These are consistent with its age and mileage and do not detract from the overall impression of a well-cared-for example.
