I've owned this car for 7.5 years, in that time its been utterly reliable and great fun. However its time to pass it on, we've outgrown it
and getting 2 bicycles in the back is getting tiring! It has MOT until August 2023, and has done approximately 149,000 miles.
Good Bits:
- Regularly serviced, I actually serviced it 4 days ago! The engine uses no oil or water and pulls well.
- Rear axle beam bushes replaced at last MOT.
- Over the past year or two its had 2 new front tyres, a new battery and water pump.
- Thunder spec so has the leather seats (good condition), and heated windscreen and air-con (which both work!)
Bad Bits:
- Cosmetics let the car down. Has the usual rusty arches and a front passenger wing. I do actually have a rust/dent-free replacement wing albeit in dark grey which I can include in the sale. Sills are also starting to look a bit scabby as shown in the photos. MOT history is fairly clean rust-wise but I would expect a patch will be needed for its next MOT.
- Vibration through the steering wheel around 70-80mph. I've not had this checked by the garage but I suspect its one of the driveshafts as its worse under load.
I've tried to be as honest as I can. I'll be really sorry to see it go! If you have any questions or would like a viewing please message me. Thanks, Tom
