This beautiful example has been in the care of its previous owner since June 1988 and has been painstakingly restored to its current form, winning an award at JAE 2005 for best 280XZ 2+2. The car has been dry stored and only covered a further 3,000 since this time so the condition is still as it was in 2005 but for additional care and maintenance.

We have a superb folder that forms a diary of all works carried out along with many receipts for parts along the way. The folder also contains all previous tax discs and MOT certificates.

The car was treated to a full bare metal respray and new glass was fitted as well as some replacement lower quarter panels.

Originally an automatic model, the car was converted to a 5 speed manual in 1991 with the work carried out by Ray Coles engineering.

The condition inside and out is fabulous, as you would expect for an award winning car. The interior is unmarked, the seat fabrics and dashboard materials all perfect and everything works as it should.

My only criticism with the entire car is a small area of de-laminating in the lower corner of the windscreen in cold weather although this shrinks in size when the sun is out. That really is the only issue with this impeccably cared for car.

The car has only covered 800 miles since 2010 but has driven to several MOT tests in this time. It starts and drives without any assistance and is ready to be enjoyed or would comfortably fit in any collection. The current MOT with no advisories is through to October 2022.
