Was a 93 400, on 60k miles. Full service history but no other evidence of work done. Chassis solid on quick look, but was quite damp inside (it has been sat outside in scottish weather for 3 months) will be sold with full mot and 6 months warranty. for £6.5k

The water seems to be coming in from roof, question is how much dampness would be expected ie do they all do that? Wondering if worth a more indepth look by someone like Rob or keep looking?

In the current climate I'd be very picky.

Thought it was expensive myself, went to see it as just down the road from me. The last convertible I had was a TR7 and was used to that getting wet carpets was not sure waht the usual was for the Chims

Mine doesn't leak at all - afaik they should be water tight if not something isn't right it could be that the hood just needs re-waterproofing?

Sold my 95 400 47k full history, uprated brakes, Imolas with new Toyos, well sorted car for £6700 not long ago, sounds an awful lot of money for this one

I recently advertised my 98 450 with 82k on hear and let it go for 6.5k, not much interest to be honest.
