Check all the electrics work on it, speedo, hood, switches.
With the 2.0 upgrade, what's this from and what was changed at the time, paperwork to match? The carb setup guessing or correctly on rollers?
I'd also be bartering the price
Good luck!

I guess it's had paint as no clipper sticker on the side at the rear, it does look very tidy overall. Check for rust in the usual places and make sure you see it start from stone-cold, as well as warm to ensure no starting/carb issues
Good luck with it, keep us posted

just put the deposit down to secure it!
all i will do now is get some BBS or BBS style rims and put a stereo in as the tape deck is of no use to me!
anyone got recommendations on where to get a cover from for the winter?
cheers
