I have owned her since september 2010 and she has never let me down! I am selling due to the [glow=red,2,300]FACT[/glow] I am getting married next year and can no longer keep her.

History
The previous owner had her fully restored at Motorgraphix in Southampton in 2009, i have the paperwork and receipts for all the work carried out and some pictures which I can send if people would like to see. When i purchased her i took her to The Bus Station in Southsea for a mechanical check and have kept the paperwork so there are no surprises.

I have MOT certificates dating back to 2006 and it currently has 7 months left on the current MOT.

I also have the receipts for the following work:
21/10/10 @ The Bus Station- Service, New rear brakes, Lowering and new rear shock absorbers
April 11 @ Project01- New complete track rods
23/4/12 Project01- Service
15/6/12- Gingers- Timing, new wheelbearing, 2x CV Joints and Wiper motor install.

It had another service in August 2011 but ive lost the invoice!

Bad Points
There is some rust appearing on the body, the worst places being the tailgate, gutter and some lower parts of the body. When it went in for its MOT they checked and said there was no sign of any rust underneath.
I also replaced the Saab seats it had with originals, at the time i had 2 brown basket weaves seats but i found an immaculate drivers seat in black on ebay which i purchased ( for £5!) with a view of getting both retrimmed, however funds didnt allow for this so it currently has two different coloured front seats.
It also currently has no speakers for the cd player as i removed them when i fitted the new panels and didnt want to cut any holes in them, so have got used to just playing music on my phone on dash. I still have the speakers so these will be included in the sale.
The bellows on the pop up roof have seen better days! i dont tend to have it up but at the moment they are quite dirty but should clean up with a good crub. however where the canvas meets the body some parts have rotted away.

I honestly cant think of anything else! It always starts first time and has driven me down to Cornwall and back without missing a beat! Cruises fine on the motorway and gets looks wherever she goes!

Im looking for £10,000 but am open to offers. Im located in Gosport, if you would like any more pictures or have any questions, please message me or call 07769 187047

Thanks
