Vehicle Testing

There is no annual MOT test on the Isle of Man. If the vehicle is not taxed for two consecutive years then it has to undergo a full test inspection at IOM Government testing station. Due to other commitments, the car was stored and then submitted for the test.

Track Day Use? Not in my ownership.

• Original minilite wheels supplied with the car when new (4, one currently attached to car as a spare).

• Heater matrix.

Other interests, house renovations and work matters have resulted in less than 2,500 miles in 9 years. The car was latterly used during TT weeks and occasional weekends. Owner had intended to keep the car for good but has other responsibilities now, not least a wife and 5-month old twins.

Asking Price

On account of the low mileage, comprehensive service and use history, He is am open to negotiation around £12500. Pictures taken on 23/3/14 are available.

FWIW I think the car is great for the price.
