KEY FACTS

• A handsome example of the engaging rear-wheel drive sports car, presented in very smart condition throughout and with very low mileage from new.

• Under the engine lid is the 350bhp 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six which drives the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

• The odometer displays just 31,398 miles, which is fully supported by the car’s maintenance history.
