UPDATE: New images. Got the old girl on the road. Had to replace 1 cat, all brakes and inlet manifold seal and she now runs like a dream!

Just bought this off a client who had not used it for 3 years for £300!!!!

120,000 miles. Dark blue with beige leather interior. EVERYTHING works including the TV!!!! (Never knew they had TVs in cars in those days!)

Put a new battery in, changed the oil and filters and she fired straight up and runs like a dream. There was a slight leak from the expansion tank which I have now replaced and just done a 250 miles journey with no issues.





NEW IMAGES!!!
