Fresh brake fluid (all brake pipes very good condition)

Very good battery fitted
Various wires/pipes tidied up, anything that has been removed has been replaced or cleaned/painted
Suspension/brakes-
New -2" 145lb front springs, cleaned/painted struts and lower arms
Front callipers rebuilt
Discs and pads showed hardly any signs of wear so they were cleaned and re used
Spax adjustable rear shocks and same story with the rear drums/shoes, All good
Handbrake works perfect
Wheels-
Standard 4 spoke laser rs style wheels, just had a refurb and in very good condition apart from some dinks from previous curbing but no damage or buckles
4x 185 70 13 tyres that were new when the car was mot'd so still have brillant tread. No tracking wear or damage
Interior-
Full shark grey recaro interior, good condition apart from some wear to the drivers seat
No rips in headlining or carpet
Overall the interior is pretty good and just needs a good wash which i was going to do when the weather warms up otherwise it will never dry!
Heater blows hot and works on both settings
Everything works as it should including rear screen heater
Windows go up and down smoothly
Sunroof works fine
It starts first time everytime, drives lovely and pulls very well. Gets attention wherever it goes and really does stand out from the crowd. Its very straight and solid, no rust issues underneath, good on fuel.
In excellent condition even though its used daily and has always been reliable.
Theres a few little loose ends i haven't got round to sorting yet which are mainly interior related such as installing the trim panel for sunroof, getting a replacement tailgate trim panel, dash fascia clips have broke so it doesn't sit completely where it should.
I have the original laser interior which can be included in the sale, along with the original airbox, cam belt cover, various spares ect. I also have a few old tax discs and receipts for parts.
Pretty sure i have covered everything but any questions just ask.
Will be sad to see this go but i want to start a new project so need to fund it.
I'm after £3200 but open to sensible offers around this mark
I'm based in witham, essex. Feel free to come view and test drive.
