The Good Points
Mechanical & Drive: Starts and drives exceptionally well. Exceptional handling on the road.

Full Interior Valet: Spent £350 on a deep interior restoration—all seats and carpets were completely removed and washed top-to-bottom about a year ago.

Fresh Heating & Cabin Air: Heating gets hot fast and works perfectly. The cabin vents were sanitized 6 months ago alongside a new high-spec pollen filter (removes chemical particles), delivering fresh cabin air.

New Bonnet Lock: Upgraded/replaced 6 months ago (common wear item on these cars).

Electric Windows & Mirrors: Front power windows and solid electric side mirrors that operate smoothly with zero wobble.
Interior Details: Working 12V cigarette lighter/charger port, solid central rear-view mirror, and original alloy wheel locking nut key included.

Points to Note (Honest Assessment)

Stereo: The original head unit was removed to check the serial number for the radio unlock code (easily obtainable online). We intended to fit an aftermarket Android touchscreen unit (£50–£60 on eBay), but haven't got round to it.
Small Dashboard Display: The small green LCD screen above the mileage counter (used mainly for radio info) is unreadable/not displaying text.

Air Conditioning: Needs a re-gas for cold air (heater works great).

Wheel Alignment: Had a suspension component replaced recently and hasn't been tracked yet (£40–£60 job at any local tire shop).
Maintenance Due: Had new spark plugs and an air filter installed 6 months ago, but due for a standard engine oil & filter service.
Bodywork & Aesthetics: Bodywork reflects 10 years of London driving with minor dents and scratches, mostly along the passenger side and boot lid. Key fob buttons do not remote unlock (manual key unlock works fine). Central armrest is missing. Needs a quick exterior wash/hoover.

History: V5C logbook present. Service history paperwork was misplaced during a house move (if located, it will be posted to the buyer).
