Note: It would appear the picture frame was mis-stamped with 1R7106, which is in the USA. A red, one owner since new as of this date. The poor photo of the data plate would bear out that the car is actually 1R7016. If anyone knows the owner of this car it might be suggested that they sort this out with DVLA as it is said to be registered with the wrong number.

Additional description from above auction:

There is no known bodywork damage. 

The resprayed paintwork is reported to be in very good overall condition, with a few blemishes around the bonnet bulge that are visible in the photo gallery. 

No major imperfections are visible on the wheels, and around 90% of tread is said to remain on the tyres.  

The retrimmed interior is in generally excellent order, showing no significant wear. The dashboard and steering wheel are also in very good condition. 

No mechanical or electrical faults have been detected. 

While the car is currently located in Spain, it is still registered in the UK and is exempt from mandatory MOT testing due to its age.
