well this early model will have suffered water leaks inside from a variety of places , all should have been fixed but look for wet carpets and perhaps a rusty floor underneath the carpets .. Rear wheel arches usualy rust through after 10 years ...
Info centre may play up . But being parked up for a year is going to make the car deteriorate more than using it 5 years on the road .. You might well need a set of brake discs and pads and the rear caliper handbrake adjusters can sieze meaning you will need 2 new rear calipers ..
Price will have to be nominal . £200?
Do the day running lifghts and pop up headlamps work ok?
Metal brake pipes rusty? ( i think the 400 series never had copper brake pipes like the 300 and other models did )
The rear lights could well be faded now , expensive at nearly £100 each
Otherwise there shouldnt be too many issues , much in line with other 400 series cars ..
If it is a B18E engine with the twin bore throttle body and tubular exhaust manifold it will fly , its 115 bhp!
Its NO V70 for sure ....
