Overview
Finished in cream over black with grey velour upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example is described by the vendor as being in fair (engine, electrical equipment) to good (chassis, bodywork, paintwork, gearbox, interior trim, wheels / tyres) overall condition. Formerly registered in New Zealand, this practical four-door Vintage saloon was apparently imported to the UK around 1990. Said to "drive very quietly" and to "steer true and straight" thanks to its recently replaced track rods / ends, it has reportedly proved a "very popular wedding car". A rare sight in this country, it is offered for sale with MOT current until May 4th 2006 and historic class (free) road tax until March 2006.
