AI Listing Summary

This 1998 Dare DZ is a rare, mid-engined roadster, being the first of only ten built and the factory demonstrator. It features a 2-liter Zetec engine, unique GRP bodywork, and has been featured in 'Top Gear' and other magazines. Originally supercharged, but returned by the factory to twin Webers with K&N filters, with low mileage and factory support.

Condition

Based on the description, the car has low mileage, a substantial history file, and is being supported by the original factory. However, it notes that it was originally supercharged but returned to twin Webers, which could be a point of concern or interest depending on the buyer. The description does not explicitly mention any cosmetic or mechanical issues, suggesting it's well-maintained. Without a closer inspection, it is hard to assess the wear and tear of the car.
