He also informed me that this car was the second lowest mileage RS500 in the UK, truly an amazing find and totally original condition , even the tyres were original except the side walls were perishing and ready for replacement.
Engine bay looking pretty dusty
To prevent mice and rats eating their way through the car the farmer even put rat poison under the bonnet.
There was lots more poison in the boot and interior it bloody smelled awful and made me feel sick..lol
Plenty of swirls
The PDG readings were considerably lower than a modern clearcoat finish but still plenty to give it a good buffing.
After a quick vac and wipe down the interior was like factory finish.
Recaro seats like new
Even the spare had never been used and like new
This stereo set up brings back memories all in perfect working order
Best of all check this out for low mileage WOW
Unreal to think somebody had this sat there with rat poison just slung inside :/ that would definately rake in some serious money seeing the condition of her along with the mileage!! Makes a change usually you see these with aftermarket suspensions, exhausts etc. Great find and interesting story
