I purchased this around 6 months ago from a friend who was losing their storage, the vehicle has been dry stored since at least 2005 as there are no online MOT records for it. I have a pile of a few old MOT’s at home prior to this. The previous owner to my friend had parked it up in a garage to a suspension fault (leaking) so it hasn’t seen the roads for a long while!
Before I purchased the car my friend had began fixing the suspension issues, he replaced all 4 corner spheres and included with the sale is the sphere for in the engine bay which hasn’t been swapped yet.
