Bought in May 2018 as a restoration project. Clearly used as a donor car some time (15 years) ago. Now intent on restoring it using as many original parts as possible - such an early example of the 4.2 deserves no less.

Originally had a Webasto, but have sourced a solid roof to replace existing.
No interior trim at all (although instruments are included).
Will be fitting a 5-speed Getrag gearbox.
Likely (but not 100% certain yet) to return to original colour scheme.
No info re original owner or registration.
