SUMMARY
Generally regarded amongst enthusiasts as the most desirable, this brightly hued Mk III seems very sensibly guided for a completely restored 3.0S.
DESCRIPTION
- Powered by the 3-litre 'Essex' V6 generating 138bhp and 174lb/ft of torque. 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 122mph
- Finished in Signal Orange Red over a Black/Carla Check interior with 'Fishnet' Recaros
- Benefiting from a full rebuild including the body, suspension and braking system along with all fuel and brake lines. Just 13 miles since the rebuild
- Treated to a set of brand new Ronal 7J x 13" RS alloys shod with new, correct size, tyres and a period Turbo rear spoiler
- With its growling V6 and in excellent condition, this is a super example of what has now become something of a 'cult' car
