Comments from the seller

This is a great example of a timeless Classic. A joy to drive with the top down or up, the roof works perfectly having had a recent refurbishment of the drive cables. It is wind tight, with no annoying whistles at any speed. The colour is the rare Antigua Blue in excellent condition. Just had a full cut & polish, looks sensational. The car is an import model from Japan & is in very good overall condition, with very low kms for its age. The interior is excellent, with the seats in superb condition, & the roof & lining in very good condition also. A recent Red Book inspection provided a very good overall rating. Fuel tank recently removed, cleaned, resealed & new fuel pump fitted. The 4.0 litre V8 provides 216.0kW of smooth power, purring as befits the Marque. Time for someone else to enjoy the pleasure of driving this beautiful beast.. Check out these safety features: Equipped with ABS brakes. There are 2 airbags fitted for your protection, driver & passenger airbags. SPECIAL FEATURES: - Leather/wood steering wheel - Climate control air conditioning - Cruise control - Remote central locking - Alloy wheels - Front & rear power windows - Power steering - Power door mirrors - Heated seats
