In Summary
Straight honest car, in very good cosmetic condition. It revs much better with the lighter flywheel, and handles brilliantly with the polybush/koni/eibach/weischer set up. The interior is very good, but there are a couple of scratches and some crazing on the driver seat bolster.
This has to be one of the best condition, spec'd and lower mileage GTVs in the country. The guys at Autolusso can vouch for the care / attention and money I have lavished on this car, they think I'm mad selling it.
