Ok so I had a look today. Turns out it was all but 10 minutes from my house!,!

It's a straight enough car taken in part ex by a really sound fella who is a Japanese car import specialist. It's not his scene but was a part ex against a Porsche I believe.

The car had been dressed in a white wrap until very recently and has a few battle scars of lacquer lift and cosmetic damage from its removal. Nothing nasty but the eye falls on to it under scrutiny.

The interior is complete although again a little tired. Most of the plastics need a repaint or way to restore them as they are very weathered. Leather is all good and needs a deep clean and conditioning. It's a deep ox blood colour in the flesh and wont be too everyone's taste for sure.electrics are working on all. Massage system I would hope has some kind of option to intensify as it was nothing more than a lightest of touches in your back from any seat. Obviously with the scarcity of it the owners book made no mention of now they function.

Soft close doors are a little intermittent.

We struggled to see clear movement I the suspension adjustment so it would be advised to suggest this needs some diagnostics carried out.

Wheels are a 4/10 but the owner was kind enough to offer to have them dipped and painted at trade cost with his usual people.

We didn't test drive as the maths just wasn't adding up on it for me personally. It certainly starts and ticks over and revs up without issue. The lpg tank was empty on viewing so couldn't be seen working although the wine assures me he ran it until it ran out. Tank is in spare wheel well which meant carrying the spare in the boot which I couldn't cope with personally.

Worth a look and play even just to tick it off as a rare beast indeed that I have now experienced.

For any genuine perspective buyers I would happily revisit with any questions or tests that you wished to see carried out. As I say the owner was a local lad who was passionate and honest about his cars.
