Where to start??
OK not the best time of year to sale a convertible!!
This has to be one of the cleanest & original Clippers you will find in the UK.

I’ve owned this car for three years and have covered a total of 1,100 miles in it! Hence the reason for selling it as it’s a waste just sat in the garage not being used, plus as it’s in such good condition there’s nothing to do on it and I’m really looking for a project car now.

Since owning this car I’ve kept it garaged and never driven it in the rain, except for the day I collected it! The last two owners were both members of the Golf mk1 club and it’s clear from the outstanding condition it’s been well looked after.

Engine runs perfectly, pulls very nicely, doesn't drink oil, I've never had to top it up other than an oil change. It’s running on the original 13" steel wheels, it rides very nicely. Gear change, brakes and handbrake all very good. Red paintwork really shines with no sign of. Tyres have 5 or 6mm tread all round. Interior very clean, no sagging bolsters or tattiness.

Blaupunkt radio/cassette stereo (original?), manual roof and manual windows. You get an auto-choke - what else could you possibly want?

At the end of the day it’s 26 year old car and I'd prefer an original car than a show queen. Therefore here are 2 bits I notice that aren't perfect:
  • There's a small ding on the front driver's side front wing on the sharp crease - it would be a pain to repair and as the paint isn't cracked I never bothered with it. See photo
  • Front bumper has a near-impossible-to-see imperfection as I tried to show in the photo (OK - that's being picky!)
Other than that I’m not sure what to say really, as I believe the originality and photo’s will sell it more than words, please contact me if you have any questions, all inspection welcome but please no time wasters.

Finally - want to see this car in action? As it got featured in this promo film! www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy2icDfQIDk

Price: £3,500 or open to sensible offers – Please PM, Text or Phone.
Would consider a PX against a Land Rover Defender 90.

Loads of photos available
