The car is described as a 'nice take' on an RS tribute, with an engine upgrade and cosmetics but not a full rebuild. It's in Olympic blue with RS 4-bar alloys, giving it the appearance of an RS2000. Work/upgrades include engine and gearbox rebuilds, new brakes, suspension, steering rack, wheels, tires, panels, and headlining, with less than 100 miles since the rebuild. This suggests it's in good condition, but not perfect.

Within the paperwork, the vendor has provided a list of work / upgrades carried out: “Olympic blue with decals 1300 GT engine specification Shot blasted and etch primed prior to paint Unleaded conversion, refurbished head, new valve guides and...
