With matching chassis and engine numbers, it was delivered new in France and has been recently imported into the UK with NOVA paperwork completed.

Condition
7
While the car is described as being in good condition for its age with a newly rebuilt and serviced engine, the description also mentions that the car has been imported into the UK and has passed an MOT. Additionally, the listing mentions that the car had a service by the French specialist and the engine rebuild. These factors, along with the moderate mileage, suggest that the car is well-maintained and solid. The car has also had an inspection by UK R5 Turbo expert Olly Melliard.
