The 3.0 has an impressive rose jointed rear suspension set-up, which can go very "floppy". This one is spot on though, feels as planted as anything.

Other things that can go wrong is the cambelt, which needs changing on time or preferably early as a precaution. It's been changed three times on this car.

Other thing is the cooling system needs looking after. This car had a new water pump, new radiator and all new coolant hoses at the same time as the cambelt as a precaution.

The clutch can get heavy too as it's worked pretty hard, but this one has been changed recently and is as light as anything.

Also it has a proper brake set-up. Four-Pot Brembos up front, which as they got older will need a rebuild. The calipers have been recently rebuilt, all new seals etc. New genuine Brembo discs and pads all round.

Service stamps and recipts add up to thousands! It's a good one this!
