I am selling this car on behalf of my boss, whose father and mother have owned this car from new and have recently given up driving due to old age.

Swaps or PX: Sorry, not this time!
Contact: Reply here, PM or call me on 07921 861 249.
Bodywork:
Dark metallic blue. No rust whatsoever! Rear arches are perfect. From what I've seen, this car has never seen a bodyshop - original paint! There are a couple of minor flaws. Nearside corner of the front bumper has been scraped, as has the rear bumper. Odd little marks here and there, nothing serious. Offiside front indicator is missing the outer lens (still passed MoT). Generally very tidy but not perfect.
Interior:
Pretty much perfect. Everything works, even the heater works on all settings! Windows zip up and down, central locking locks and unlocks all doors and boot. No stains, no rips, no sign of wear to the seats. Very clean throughout. Boot looks like new.
Mechanicals:
I've only driven this car for approx 25 miles from my boss' house back to mine. During the journey the engine ran fine, temp gauge reached half way, automatic gearbox worked fine, as did the brakes and steering. No knocks or thumps from the suspension. The car feels tight and strong. Oh, when first started from cold after being left standing for over a week (on a cold and damp evening) the engine ran on 3 cylinders for approx 10 seconds before the 4th pot joined in. I suspect a plug or lead may need sorting out.
Car has original alloy wheels with a steel spare. One centre cap is missing. All tyres are good.
Exhaust is good, with no blowing or rattles.
All lights, wipers, etc work fine.
There you have it. Nice little cheap car, ready to go, long tax and MoT, nice and clean, low mileage, well looked after, what more could you want? You want photos? Ok, here you go:
