Quite possibly mine, sold now and yes to get one under a G in good nick is a win. Noticed that it has had an extra aerial put through the front wing.

They come with Tickford leather seats (xr3 trimmed ones), Footwell lights, tip computer, electric mirrors, rear and footwell lights, uprated stereo etc. and alloys. Hard to find one with interior in good nick, I made mine out of two sets.

If the interiors fucked I've got a spare Cossie leather one which needs little work or a couple of good 88spec Cossie ones and a really good rainbow interior.

Can look after people on prices with Xmas coming!!

That black ones stunning btw!!
