mileage is 64k
1 owner from new (im the 2nd as of last month)
full brooklyn service history (dont know the benefit of brooklyn, justs sounds good)
oil change every 4k
original exhaust and brake pads - that gave me a clue as to how it was driven since new. the exhaust has gone now though, i'll be getting s/s one soon

well it was 90 spec interior from factory. and pre 90 spec bumper and spoiler. the previous owner had a car park bump and decided to replace the bumper with the 90 spec one.

Depends, if it was a late G like mine for example, it had all the 90 bits from factory as I think from this point on they just lobbed all the 90 bits on them moving over to H plates etc....

modding it!! your having a laugh right.

as for concours, not sure what the definition of that is.

it is my daily car (everyone cringe) i take great care of it though and will be keeping it as good as pics.

the only mod i doing is a stainless steel custom made exhaust which is the same sound and pipe diameter as standard.
