AI Listing Summary

Condition
6
The car has been re-sprayed and had some engine work done. The undercarriage has been stripped, repainted and rebuilt with new suspension and springs, new ball joints, and a new ZF limited-slip differential. It also comes with some original parts, and paperwork. However, it also has MoTs for the period 1993-2017, suggesting it may have been off the road for some time, and has had a head gasket failure in the past.
