check out this little 'beauty'

one owner, blah blah, well looked after 'blah blah

just look at the photos, the attention to detail in the engine bay tells you all you need to know about the people selling it!

would it not hurt to buy a roll of masking tape and some newspapers....

oh, and I think the state of the boot floor tells a few stories...

shame, as it looks quite good at first glance

Nice original body, but has it been repainted in the wrong shade of grey?
