Further Info:

'This was bought for my collection in 2005. Parts were replaced between then and 2008, when it was declared SORN, and it has been dry stored for the last 13 years with occasional use to keep everything sound. Bought as a good example of a very rare and interesting model, to keep and enjoy while its value increased, probably selling in 5-10 years. Only unforeseen circumstances now require disposal of the collection earlier than anticipated.

Its specification includes an uprated version (190bhp) of the really smooth 2.5L 6-cylinder engine, full time 4 wheel drive with electronically controlled central differential, traction control, self-levelling rear suspension, air conditioning and electric double sun roof. Many components such as transmission, suspension and brakes are unique to this model. The car drives and performs well, with impressive stability and traction. A spare set of the unique wheels and tyres are included with the car. Recent work (in last 1000 miles) includes discs, callipers and pads, front driveshaft, front struts, new battery and fuel pump. A full service history and file of invoices is supplied with the car, with a brief summary below.
