Stunning collectors car in very good condition.Pearl white,half leather / velour interior

This car looks 100 MPH stood still! A stunning looking car which is used every day. It is on the button and starts and runs beautifully ,first time , every time.I have owned it for 4 years and it has not missed a beat.I have a history file dating back to 1994 when imported to Perth by the previous owner who owned it in the UK and brought it to Perth when he emigrated.The actual mileage is 88,000 miles as shown on the oddometer,not Km,s as shown on the speedo. 5 speed gearbox,electric windows,electric mirrors,radio/CD player,remote locking,alarm,2.2 turbo 4 cylinder motor,removable glass sun roof with original storage bag,air-con(not working),factory workshop manual,original fully stamped service book/ hand book,The car holds good oil pressure and correct temperature through out our very hot summers.

very slight oil leak to 1 x cam cover.Body work is very good with a very small bump to the rear bumper. The paint work is also very good with the paint missing from the rear bumper at above mentioned bump.The interior is in good condition but has a slight rip in passenger seat and to centre console cover,(may see in pics).I would have no hesitation in driving this car anywhere as it is so reliable. It is easy to drive and very comfortable. It turns heads on every trip and makes for very enjoyable motoring.If you are looking for a reliable,stunning looking ,collectors super car, you must test drive this car. It has NEVER been thrashed or raced (while in my ownership) and has not needed much in the way of maintenance apart from the usual consummable items. It still has that kick in the back effect when opened up with the glorious sound of the turbo and blow off valve playing their tune.

Yep, it was but it was only a link to the Newspaper Ad, very short description and no photos.

this vehicle is still for sale...

because of the knowledge on this forum, i often dig through each thread to make sure it doesn't
have the 'usual' dodgey history ...

great forum btw... took me a long, long time to divert away from the usual brand of forums to the top
end of the scale.

Yum....

the ONLY car I would consider owning in white.......

Obviously needs a little TLC, but don't they all......

LOL at the Towing capacity in the ad....

They're assuming IT is doing the towing, rather than being towed, I assume????? That's a bit of assuming.
