Condition 

8

The car is presented in excellent overall condition, with a lovely specification and low mileage. The paintwork is described as very good with only a handful of minor stone chips, and the bodywork is in excellent condition with neat panel gaps. The interior shows light wear consistent with age and mileage, and all features are reported to be working. The original alloy wheels have some light kerb damage and bubbling, and the tires are dated 2012, indicating they would need replacing. Mechanically, the engine bay is clean with no obvious issues, and recent work includes a new starter motor and air mass sensor. The car is described as unmodified and factory-spec.

We can certainly get behind that sentiment, after all it’s an all-time great that somehow becomes more than the sum of its parts.

And they’re damn fine parts: an incredibly well balanced and agile chassis; an all-aluminium, naturally-aspirated V8 pumping out almost 400bhp; rear wheel drive with a weighty and precise 6-speed manual transmission; incredib...
