Rear bumper looks correctly aligned so possibly had recent rear brackets. Tail pipe looks relatively fresh too. Best of luck with it!

Does it have a blower?

No. Its the 140bhp N/A engine. Probably fairly gutless but It's going to be a daily and dog carrier so not that bothered

Cheers

Just as well, I guess, probably more efficient for pootling around. Great colour! Look forward to seeing it cleaned up.

As said, looks promising does that.
Nowt wrong with a 10v. Majorly under-stressed, so will soldier on and on and on.....

As far as I'm aware both the 140bhp and 170bhp in later cars are 20V. Not collected yet due lockdown issues etc

Will update with clean car pictures as soon as I can
