This looks an excellent car - much more appealing than the e-bay item.
I'm biased, but yes it is (or certainly was) an excellent car. I'm sure Lindsay will testify to how great a starter it was. Seemed to start as soon as you even thought of applying pressure to the ignition key.
I bought the car in 2002 from its first owner, who owned a car parts business down in South East England. She was cosmetically a bit tired at that stage, but only needed a good T-cut to bring her paint back to tip top.
The engine has maybe faired better than most because the micro-switch on the Overboost had been disconnected so the acceleration was still good, but not as explosive as it is with overboost. I never really drove the car that way in any case, but I suspect the absence of overboost reduced a lot of wear and tear.
Of course, 8.32 leather makes the car something really special to sit in too. It's hard to resist adjusting the rear view mirror so that you can just admire those sculpted rear seats.
