Due to the age of the car, all sorts of things have needed replacing. Sunroof mechanism, exhaust, clutch cylinders.

Quite a rare car. People always comment on how good it looks.

4 seats, although not much room in the back. fine on smooth roads, a bit of a washing machine on poor roads though.

Security and Service
Security
Buy the best alarm you can. Use a steering lock at all times as well. Expect scratches and minor dents from jealous individuals.
Service
Excellent servicing. All the latest diagnostic equipment to test faults. Parts now very expensive to get, especially body parts or plastic trim etc. Servicing expensive.
