Wow, you jammy git - those M-Sport seats are worth more than that!

Is it a Cat S maybe, although even if it is that's still a bargain.

yip on my drive way and will get a full clean down / degrease of Bodywork/engine bay/chassis etc over the next week.
Then remove seats and re-dye …while the seats are out clean interior carpets etc

Only problem I can see at the moment is is a roof hydraulic hose burst , but motor is in the boot already .Also drivers door Handle cable stretched

Once all cleaned down I can look at listing mechanical bits to do.

Has 4 x Good Year Tyres with 5mm tread.

Let the journey begin

[Umfaan]

The beginning …up on ramps ..clean and degrease engine and underneath areas .

I think there are only 56 3.0si manual roadsters left in the UK now!

 

[Umfaan]

Wow so definitely a keeper

 

[Mr_Reeves]

Wow that is super cheap! Great find. Hopefully it's not hiding anything nasty and gives you miles of joy.

There's way more, don't pay any attention to how many left it's totally inaccurate
