*Stored since 1998
*Becoming rare in this condition
*An affordable, economical modern classic
This 1.6Si has emerged from long-term storage and shows just 42,000 miles on the clock. Having never been presented for an MOT the car has been off the road since 1998. The bodywork and paint have lasted very well and the panels show no signs of neglect or corrosion: Paint is notably good and the bumpers have no knocks or paint scuffs, and even the original plastic wheel covers are in good codition. The Si model's passengers enjoyed decent levels of comfort, including electric windows, glass sunroof and better-upholstered seats: the original factory-fitted radio cassette player is still fitted. This car's interior is in remarkably good order with little wear to seats, dashboard and door cards and the boot is in commensurate order, the spare wheel being unused. In all a highly useful, usable modern classic that is sure to see an increase in value.
