• Imported in 2003, it's believed to have been off the road between 2010 and 2020, at which point it was subject to a two-part major restoration with an outlay of c.£25,000 (see Condition Report)
• Powered by its rebuilt 2-litre EJ207 flat-four turbo, producing around 300bhp and driving all four wheels through a 5-speed short-ratio (4.44 final drive) manual gearbox
