Description

Just given a full service last week, including timing belt and water pump. Engine flush, new plugs etc… totally recommissioned ready for the summer with bills to show.
Such a loud and fun car to drive, never has its roof on, garage stored.
A very rapid car.
This is a very early example, No. 480 off the production line.
A friend of my father put his deposit on this at the ‘95 motor show and was delivered a few years later and the image of the lad stood by the car is me at 8 years old the week it arrived. I have always wanted it and bought it two years ago when the second owner, also a friend of the family, had to give up driving it.
It’s wanted for nothing and been loved by everyone. My father steals it off me for a past time to ride down to the coast.
No issues or vices, as mentioned, just had a full service ready for the summer and has 6 months MOT.
Will be missed but the need to buy a new house means it would help if she found a new home. Sorry to see her go.
