Condition

The car has been modified with an RS2000 engine, Type 9 gearbox, and other performance enhancements, suggesting mechanical attention and likely some wear. The description mentions it 'presents very well' but also indicates it was 'much modified' and retains its original rear bench seat, implying a mix of original and upgraded components. There's mention of past MoT certificates, suggesting some history of maintenance, but also that it's now tax and MoT exempt, indicating it's of an age where stricter scrutiny isn't required.
