I stripped the bumpers, trim and all the Sacco panels during the recommissioning to give the car a proper refresh and to ensure the undercarriage was in worthwhile condition before spending time, money and effort on the car. No bodywork or structural rust; only one superficial repair carried out to the rear offside jacking point during re-commissioning - before and after photos available.

Now in good all round condition with some chips & marks, but no major dents or scrapes. No accident damage recorded. Remember it is a 34 year-old car, so there are minor issues, marks and imperfections consistent with age and use, but it's ready to use and enjoy now.

Interior is in great condition; the common door card issues need minor attention if I'm being picky, but not enough to bother me.

Please... DO NOT ASK FOR MY LOWEST PRICE and DO NOT MAKE OFFERS unless you're stood in front of me after viewing the car in person.

I will get some more up to date photos of the exterior next weekend; these photos are before I removed the boot spoiler.
