Registered in April, this car was originally Rosso Red when it left the factory, but as you can see at some point has had a full body re-paint in Frozen White which gives this example a more contemporary look. The interior remains as it was, and we believe if to be original, with little wear other than the seat bolster on the driver’s side. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive service folder which appears to have every receipt for anything done to the car, and original book packs including 2 service books! The last service was carried out by Enso Performance in December 2023, not long after the current owner acquired the car. At that point, the belt & water pump was also replaced. The car is very clean underneath, and runs and drives as it should. Not perfect on the body, but nevertheless a great weekend fun car for not daft money, and something that would make a lovely example with a bit of weekend work!
