Yes it is that one.
Tyre was put on to get it through the MOT while waiting for the pilot sports to come in, never really driven on the odd tyres.
I've checked it pretty well, I'm not a complete novice when it comes to cars.....

I was not questioning you mechanical knowledge just my asumption from the pictures albeit an incorrect one. To show a picture of a car that obviously has wrong tyres on it or ill matching at least and then claim Michelin P/S all round is just a bit odd.

Service schedule looks a bit out too. Maybe I have misread it.

Happy driving anyway.

According to the advert, not only is it black, it's one of the even rarer 5 seat CSLs. Although that 5th person will have to have a specially designed arse

I think the service schedule looks OK, the ad says it has an inspection due in 5K miles which matches OK with the other logged services. It'll be an Insp II next, and it'll come up a bit quicker than 5K miles on the odo.

I've had my 3 kids sat in the back


You just sit one in the middle and cross over the seat belts to lock on the other side!

Neat... Fortunately I only have two of the little buggers, so haven't needed to resort to such solutions.

The last two services are looking like 13-15k miles so
My guess is that the car has not been tracked as this massively reduces the intervals. My cars intervals in last 3 years were 8-10K miles

If the previous owner has confirmed it was tracked often then be aware.

Enjoy Peter, I think a respray to SG only costs about £2500 and is a worthwhile long term investment
