You might quite like mine. Unfortunately it's not for sale!

109k miles, ally rad, fresh head/gasket at 70k miles ish, mildly better brakes, mildly better seats, S2 retro fit damper kit, stainless exhaust etc etc. 1999 model so most fixes in place from factory. Floor fixed & rebonded via official recall. About to get its 3rd steering rack. New wishbones & bushes at front. New fixed brake lines at rear.

Full service history, approx 10 yrs at main dealer and 5 via DIY led by v well qualified enthusiasts all of whom are / were part of SE.

Could use a new lick of paint but no bubbling.

Welcome to have a look round it as a datum any time.
