Stunning looking, Pininfarina-styled, 2 litre 16 valve manual coupe.
Only 79,000 miles and just 2 owners. 20 years old, first owner had it 19 years.
Full service history from day 1. Original bill of sale, a fairly dramatic £21,600 in the year 2000. (£33,000 in today's money?)
12 months MOT with just rear tyres as advisories (cheaply changed by me today).
Full black (heated front) leather interior, electric front seats with memory, unused spare tyre with full size wheel in boot, plus handbook and wheel brace, etc. all present and correct.
Interior is not far off new condition, rear seats have never been sat in.
If this is a typical price then get buying, as these cars can surely only be expensive in time to come, achingly handsome and quite rare, as they are?
The best grand i ever spent, that's certain.

The photos are prior to today's comprehensive clean and polish and it looks much better. Just a few small jobs to do here and there, as expected with a car 20 years old, it's great.
Well pleased.

You could never accuse it of being fast, but 145 bhp means it is lively enough to enjoy.

Great buy. I had the saloon version of that, automatic with leather seats and all the toys. Most comfortable car I have had.

You’re right! The exception being a really nice silver one that blats past me most weekday morning at a fair old rate of knots down the M6.

The striking thing about it is how compact it is against modern machinery yet loads of glass.

Always been a fan of these...have a friend that had the same but with cloth interior...such a comfy swift cruiser.
