The full MOT history (at least from 2006 but I've got it filed from before that) is online so not much need to repeat here except to say anything causing a fail over the years has been fixed but most failures have been on emissions usually resolved simply by getting car hot by doing a spirited run before being tested!
Good condition all round with some retouching over the years as you'd expect on age of car. Carpets in at least the footwells need refurbing but otherwise interiod good with refurbished dashboard.
Wheels recently refurbished/ repolished.
Over the years, most of the money (far too many thousands) has been spent ensuring all the mechanical bits work well and doing the upgrades etc. Chassis is good. Full file of all receipts and work from the near 29 years. Most recent works include recent new swirl pot between fuel tanks plus all new hosing around tanks.
With the exception of a just a few days here and there it's always been garaged in my ownership.
Registration not included but can be discussed. Original plate G reg (1989).
Original OZ wheels (need refurb) available tooAn ideal basis to have as a modified road car or trackday car or with required mods, configure as a race car. The engine and suspension and other mods puts the car well ahead of standard models yet could be put back to near standard as a road car just with the uprated engine.
Those who know the car from the trackdays it's been used for over the years, will know it's a quick car which handles well yet at the same time is pretty forgiving.
Car always starts first time. Superb, powerful modified road car or trackday car or with required mods, configure as a race car. The engine and suspension and other mods puts the car well ahead of standard models yet could be put back to near standard as a road car just with the uprated engine.
29 years of ownership by me so a massive file of receipts etc held.
