J728 OKX is described by the vendor as a “rolling restoration".
Its MOT remains valid until November but the 2.0-litre 16v engine has unfortunately seized, apparently due to oil starvation.
The history includes various receipts for ongoing maintenance and refurbishment parts such as shock absorbers, bushes and brake discs & pads, dated mostly from 2018 onwards.
The odometer is reading 107,474.
The vendor tells us that the car has received many uprated parts, and that the clutch and windscreen are recent.
He bought it in 2020, made it roadworthy and then drove it daily for a year and a half before its engine problem.
It's equipped with electric windows, remote central locking and a Clifford alarm.
Brand new left and right-hand sills are also included, ready for further restoration work.
