I like it , nearly went to take a look at it myself last year , but bought my 99 model instead , interior looks good, better than mine with the yellow dials , alcantara , good colour combo etc . Although it's the older style dash . Car from what I hear been well cared for by the previous owner and is on here. I think 75k would be a good price . But would need to view and check history etc . It's probably the best example to come up for sale for a long time imho.

Thanks for that, I too think its a little overpriced...
I take it your enjoying yours, how do you find low speed manouvering & reversing?
Also would you know if he still owns the car? or has he given it to them SOR ?

Went to see this car two weeks ago,but at that time the the advert read it had covered 2500 miles and was 2000 model and a 6.0.When I got there it was a different story,saying that the car looked stunning with allot of paperwork.Not for me as I was looking to buy a 6.0.

Not sure if last owner given to them to sell , however was on PH last year around the time I was looking for mine priced 72k . If I'd had viewed this before seeing mine I would have been very tempted I,m sure . Just the decals put me off a bit . You either like them or not . Enjoying mine anyhow , still learning things everytime I take it out . For me because I'm a short chubby chap reversing is a bit awkward just to get a visual and judging the width . Was thinking on a camera but havn't gone down that route yet . Low speed manouvering going forwards not really an issue for me . Can see over the bonnet no problem , got a low dash .

I have seen your car 18 months ago. Best open headlight SV I have seen.

Exactly the same here but I bought a '99 SV in blue - I preferred the updated dash.
