This right-hand drive 'Series 1' coupé was imported from South Africa in 2001 and acquired by the current owner in December that year, since when it has hardly been used. We are advised that the car has had only three owners and has covered a believed-genuine 22,800 miles from new, while there are bills on file relating to restoration works carried out between July 1979 and August 1981. It is reported that there is very little evidence on under-body rust and no signs of welding, though the presence of bubbling paintwork on the doors indicates that new skins are required. Finished in blue with grey interior, the latter described as excellent, the car is offered with the aforementioned restoration bills, current MoT/tax and Swansea V5C document.
