Whilst I've owned the car (since 2001), it's never been crashed, bumped or painted (original panels), and has been maintained regardless of cost, covering approx' 35K miles in the past 7 years, always garaged.

Mechanically in excellent condition, always ran on Optimax/V-Power fuel & Silkolene Pro S 10W50 oil.


Bad points:

Some stonechipping to front as can be expected on a car of this age/mileage.
Some rust showing on front wheel arch lip, small amount on bootlid, and some bubbling below petrol cap.
Drivers door has a small ding and rust on the bottom edge. (Have a replacement door available)

HPI clear. A very quick and reliable car, engine is still sweet as a nut. I think the car is in very good condition for it's year/age, and the fact that it actually gets used.

Recently serviced, and new clutch.

Genuine enquiries only, no test pilots, no PX.
