Remarks

The paintwork is generally in very good condition with no stone chips or scratches. Areas have been resprayed previously and the boot has been professionally resprayed under my ownership after light surface rust was addressed. The entire car has been polished to professional levels including some paint correction. There are some small imperfections here and there but only if you go looking for them in bright lighting. There are a couple of stone chips in the windscreen - one has been treated but is still visible. A dealer fit sunroof was spec'd and installed at point of purchase.
