Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Old school driving. Hold on tight as torque steer is prominent. Go for manual if possible and get suspension sorted. Looks classy though drives like a barge ... great for a roads though B roads challenge it. Back brakes can be sticky and drag and pcv system Needs to be done. Look for headlamp discolouration too. They are getting rare now... in Coupe form for a good one... if you want a fast classic brick worth considering ...! I have spent a load on mine as want it right and show it the respect it deserves. Though I am a Bm nut I have a soft spot for the lines on this TWR beauty.

How reliable do you find the car?

Keep an eye on the suspension and rear brakes as well as the engine mounts. I have gone through mine with a fine tooth comb with full bilsteins and handling is improved.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Bought to save one t5 gs. Manual in saffron. Great looking car and does need a few little enhancements.
