Certainly does look in fine fettle - shame about the interior though, never did like the dual colour trim. Always prefer them in one simple colour.

Emailed the seller but has never got back - funny how people sell cars rolleyes

Looks very similar to my car. Very nice, and I would say a sensible price. If I was looking for one, I would certainly be going for a look.

I don't know the car either! It is the same exterior colour as mine and a couple of years younger. I question whether it is full leather as stated - mine has leather door cards not carpet which is the way I can usually tell without looking closely. Also, the wings under the bonnet are body coloured on that one and matt black on mine so I wonder whether that one has been resprayed? I have seen that many times before so quite possible/likely that the factory started doing that after they made mine.

Pretty sure the definition of full leather is - dash, center console and seats. Mines half leather which is just the seats. But, they say you could specify any interior you wanted, so maybe leather door cards instead of carpet was a cost option ?

I think the full leather option included: dash and baulkhead, t-bone central console, seats (back and front facings), headrests, door tops and arm rests, roof support trim and carpet edging.

My Griff is the same year as the one for sale and has the painted inner wings as well, I also see the sale has finished, car withdrawn.
