Low mileage (around 800 miles pa), the V8 badge is on the offside

seats and a replacement steering wheel. The
engine bay has a little rust, for example on the expansion tank
cap and air cleaners. Will
need inspecting. Not registered with the V8 Register. |

Pricewatch comment
With 59,000m, there are areas where paint
is bubbling so some bodywork and respray will be needed to get
it to Condition 1. Previously owned by Bryan Ditchman. Then
registered with V8 Database by an owner in Dorking but believed
later sold on to another owner. |
