SUMMARY
Superbly presented in what must surely be one of the most attractive colour combinations ever and on offer at a very sensible guide, we can't imagine better value for money.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1995, the new Turbo R benefitted from Zytek fuel injection and cosmetic changes, many of which were carried forward to the 1997 Turbo RT
- First registered in January 1996, this long wheelbase Turbo R is spectacularly finished in a rich shade of Wildberry Mica
- The interior is equally impressive in extended Magnolia hide with Wildberry piping, Wildberry carpets bound in Magnolia, lambswool over-rugs, a Magnolia hide roof lining and Burr Walnut veneers
- Now displaying just over 49,000 miles, the last registered keeper acquired the car in 2007 at just over 37,000 miles
- It's accompanied by an extensive owner's file containing older MOTs, invoices and records of care over the years, a copy of the pre-purchase Build Inspection Report and its original Bill of Sale confirming a figure of £122,525 in 1996
- Will come to the sale with a fresh MOT
- The number plate illustrated, 727 FJB, is not included in the sale but may be available to purchase following the auction
