All bright work is good.Small amount of rust bubbling on lower corners of rear screen, has been like this since I got the car and hasn't got any worse, also rust bubbling at very lower corner of rear arches about the size of a10p piece, was planning on getting this addressed but never got round to it and is very minor.

So here we go again!Had 2 great summers in this one and covered many trouble free miles and its time to let it go. I have many other cars/projects on the go and an unsympathetic wife.Surprisingly good on fuel for a big car returning around 30ish mpg. Also has the benefit of becoming a 'historic vehicle' in just over 2 years which will make it MOT and tax exempt.Unsure how the E10 fuel will affect this vehicle, was sorned end of September and I used the more expensive E5 for the month prior to that as matter of precaution.Any questions or to view please call Graeme on 07765412715. If for any reason I do not answer please leave a message and I WILL call you back.Thanks for looking.
