These improved characteristics ensure that driver has the responsiveness  required for performance driving including all-important, mid-range overtaking. A revised  engine management system, and a stainless steel sports exhaust system, plus a dump valve,  the car is really all about mid range power.  The Drive  An extremely well thought out highly developed piece of kit that will out accelerate many  modern day fast cars and cover cross country miles with a stability and turn of speed  that has to be witnessed to be truly believed, these cars are supreme in this area. All this  achieved with extremely comfortable suspension and plenty creature comforts. Few cars  offer such versatility, practicality, reliability and sheer fun.

I have had the bonnet resprayed, the lower front lip and the arches to get rid of stone chips and surface corrosion. There is light corrosion on rear arch where it meets bumper and rear drivers door handle. These are not bad enough to need a respray but I am over critical! The only other minor issue is cracking of the fog light lenses. I also had the alloys refurbished so they are spotless.  This is an appreciating classic, slightly lower mileage cars from used dealers are selling for north of £10,000; this is a very well priced car; especially with the costly alcantara interior. If you have any questions or picture requests please just ask. Thanks, Chris.   *Offer accepted on my house so just dropped price considerably to £6,500 from £7,750. That is really cheap for these limited edition cars.
