There speaks the perfectionist! If anyone on here knows exactly what this car should and should not have it'll be Steve!

Must admit I can't see the rust - but that's probably down to this diddy screen and my rotten eyesight!

Well spotted on the door trim too.

Cheers

You picky buggers!!

Whilst the final selling price in my mind seems ludicrous it does look a very original car. To say the engine bay is nothing special is a bit crazy. As far as I'm aware it looks EXACTLY like it would've done from the factory, apart from the blue plugleads and battery.

The blue plug leads are the originals :P My car had them still when I got it (at a shocking 80,000 miles!)

Blue HT leads, as seen in this clip from my brochure. Don't ask me why the engine looks mirrored in the picture.

Thats an easy one, some idiot in the graphics department had the negative the wrong way around when they created the advert - It occurs more commonly than you think! - Mike
