Faults

The car looks stunning polished up and drives beautifully, however there are one or two niggles still left, I'm just being as honest as possible about the condition of the car

- Oil temperature gauge does not function

- Rear arches are solid but showing signs of some scabbing, but please bear in mind the car is 20 years old nearly

- Car park dings, there are a few from tractor drivers at asda not respecting a decent car

- There is a tear in the fabric of the drivers seat bolster, again usual on older cars of this type/spec

Right before I move onto the pictures, please feel free to contact me with any questions about the car you have on pm on the forums or on the contact details given below the pics themselves.

As described above, the car drives very well and I thoroughly encourage a viewing of the car to appreciate its condition and performance. For the 19 years under its belt it has been kept very well and is in lovely nick, I would personally love to keep it, I've always been after a phase 1 J plate but with the williams' and the turbo keeping me busy I can't warrant a 4th car and need to let someone else lavish more attention on this car, bring it to the shows and keep it in the forum.
