Current V5 present. Paperwork includes Owner's Handbooks, a Service booklet containing 3 stamps, MOT certificates, previous insurance documents, and various invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • File with loads of service history, previous MOT’s, etc
  • Flew through an MOT at the end of April with no advisories, initial fail on an ABS warning light, but just a broken sensor wire that was a quick, easy fix
  • Straight 6 cylinder engine
  • Hardtop releases/Locks as it should
  • Good stereo with 6 disc changer in the boot, that set-up would’ve been the bees knees 25 years ago, but things have moved on....
  • Seems to have a seriously good heater, lovely and warm with the roof down, and ridiculously hot with the roof up
  • Definitely the least wind buffeting of any convertible I’ve ever been in with the roof off, even on the motorway, there’s no annoying hair swirling draughts
  • Just had a brand new, good-quality NAPA/Fahren battery fitted 26/6/2026
  • All alloys are unmarked with all 4 Pirelli tyres as new
  • All in all, just a good, straight, square, smooth Sunday afternoon cruiser
