Supplied new in September 1991 by Military Car Sales in Germany to its first owner who bought the car whilst serving in the Forces in Germany. Ordered in Rio Red to UK specification, the original Bill of Sale is included within the vehicle documentation file.
In April 1993 the car was bought to the UK, registered, and kept for 7 months. In November 1993 the car was sold to a close friend and car enthusiast who kept the car for over 28 years, but sadly has now been forced to retire from driving due to poor health.
The gentleman was an engineer who fastidiously cared for the car during his ownership.
It was always safely garaged in an integral heated garage, and it certainly shows in its overall condition, the underside is quite remarkable, never having been welded or needing any if cared for in future,
The interior is indeed a very special place, the seats still tight and all the trims are in exceptional condition with no blemishes.
Judging by the way the car drives, we doubt that any of its 131 horses have left the stable, it revs and pulls so sweetly, the gearbox and clutch action being light and silky smooth, the handling simply sublime, very direct and immense fun to drive.
The car has a completely advisory free MOT record and we have listed below its full MOT history:
