All.
Anyone know Olly got on with this car?! He must have finished uni by now!

Thanks.

Maybe he sold it to someone who loves it as it is, a bought a BMW 3 series. . .

Couple things need looking at like heating and radio. But think heating just a fuse. With the radio if I wanted to put a modern DAB din one in I have what changes would be needed for the radio loom. Are there adapter kits or is an older radio easier.

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.
