KEY FACTS

• Under the bonnet is the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, producing around 82bhp, coupled to the five-speed manual transmission.

• The left rear bumper end cap is missing, and there is some sagging at the back end of the beige soft top.
• Inside, the tan leather upholstery shows some very slight discolouration, but overall the cabin trims presents very well.
