Not Sold

 

Paintwork and body panels are all extremely good. Panel fit and door shut excellent. Paintwork is to a very good standard with no obvious issues. No visible rust on the bodywork or underneath but inspection is recommended. The interior shows some discolouration and dirt ingress commensurate with age and would benefit greatly from a professional valet. Tyres all appear to be in very good condition with plenty of tread, the wheels however have suffered from wear and tear with flaky paint and chips.
