Lot details

Chassis No: JMAA187AMKZ400255
MOT: September 2021

  • Only 3 former keepers with current ownership since 1995
  • Colin Blower Garages Engine tuning and Group B Rally specification Brakes upgrade
  • Supplied with an extensive collection of past MOTs and original service book
  • Offered with a large quantity of spares and regularly maintained by TJ Motors Limpsfield during the vendor's custodianship

This rare example of a model that excelled on UK race tracks in period is finished in White and trimmed in Black leather. It has had just four keepers all told, the most recent of whom has retained the car since 1995, during which time it has been regularly maintained by his son’s business, TJ Motors Limpsfield. A rapid performer as standard, this example benefits from an engine upgrade (the turbo is now running 14 lbs boost) and the installation of Group B rally specification brakes, both of which modifications were carried out by Colin Blower Garages c.1995/1996. The vendor presently views the bodywork, interior trim, 2.6-litre engine and five-speed manual transmission as all being in ‘very good’ order, and the paintwork as ‘good’. This exciting performance Coupe is being offered complete with original sales brochure, owner’s manual CD and service book, extensive collection of old MOTs, and a large range of spare parts.

Vendor Condition Ratings:

Bodywork: 'Very Good'
Engine: 'Very Good'
Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good'
Paintwork: 'Good'
Gearbox: 'Very Good'
Interior Trim: 'Very Good'
