I purchased this car on 30.01.2014 and am selling now as have gone back to driving an MX5.
If I could afford to, I would keep this car and restore it to mint condition.This car has done 103,750 miles.
I have replaced much of the ignition system and it drives faultlessley. The car is MOTed until 04.03.2017. There were two advisories on the MOT (steering rack gaiter and rear drop link) which I have addressed. When the car was in the garage the other week to have these advisory items addressed, the mechanic advised me that one of the front shock absorbers is on its way out.The car is really clean underneath.
The body of the car looks good from afar but it does have some imperfections: It has a couple of tiny car park dints on the OS door; the seam on the inside of the O/S door, at the bottom, is (only just) starting to rust, as is the lip at the rear of the OS sill; it has had a respray at some point in its life; and the front bumper has been replaced at some point and needs a respray.The car is for sale at

I wrote the car off shortly after I got it by putting it backwards into a field. The O/S door and sill were damaged as pictured. The damage pictured is historic and has been repaired to a high standard. I sourced a rust free replacement door and a rust free replacement sill from GTS Chris and had the damage repaired at NE Autobody. I had the wheel alignment checked shortly after I got the car back on the road, just to check that it was straight(!) and it was.
