Check the seller's garage as it's often a mirror on how he maintains things. Trashed (rubbished?) garage doesn't always mean bad car maintenance but...

Lol. Fair point but the car has a full main dealer service history with all the stamps.

Rubbish. My garage is a shithole because the previous owner left it like that. My car is immaculate and pampered. Also, maintenance on my car is a higher priority than the house, and especially higher priority than the garage, with it's asbestos roof and everything!

Fab..


That colour Combo is superb!

However...word of warning, that mileage and FDSH? makes it a car likely to be a CONCOURS vehicle in the future

You get some on here saying SORN and sell it for 3 times you paid for it in 5 years time...

Well done sir

I certainly have plans to pamper it. And garage queens are my thing. Don't hate me for it!

That's on the list! Kept under a car cover and he never removed the aerial beforehand.

Get the OE car cover. There's a little codpiece for the radio antenna. Comes out erect.
