Original G40, just over 91,000 miles. It was brought into Ireland in 2007 from London/Kent area.
Jobs done since owning;
A539's fitted.
Exhaust mid box replaced with straight through pipe.
G40 badges fitted. Had to make do with a front one for the rear.
Stereo/hands free kit fitted.

Thanks Jester. Not used as a daily driver. I get around on two wheels mostly.
Want to revert to original springs\shocks. Eibach set up handles likes it on rails, but I find it too harsh for the roads here in Ireland.
