Shocks are a little shot but still drives nicely and doesn't need to pass an MOT again .

Found all the history car only did 30k miles between 1980 and 2001 and other than some rust on the rear bumper and a little on the roof doesn't seem to be any major spots.


This is such a great looking car. Looks a very clean example.
