The car is registered as silver and at some point has been re-sprayed dark grey.

The vendor part-exchanged the car a year ago against a Mercedes and has used it occasionally describing it as driving well.

It comes with the original service book stamped in 1988 to 1991 and then in 2002 at 54,282 miles, MoTs dating from 1988 to 2015, receipts covering 2011 and 2012 plus two dated 2021, original owner's manual and rally parts brochure.

The mileage is recorded at 68,984.
