Has someone attempted to recover the dash? The mismatched door mirrors and the rear seatbelts would aggravate me but other than that it looks good from what can be seen.

I had assumed it was a strip of black "stone-chip" paint along the trailing edge of the front valence but you are right it does look odd. It doesn't appear to have been as well finished as other areas.

Likewise the (presumably) Vietnamese UK spec. rear bumper was a bit too wide for the car hence the bulge on the left side under the rear light and the downward facing overrider.

Hammer price £31,000 provisional.

Looks a very nice, reliable car. Seems lots spent on it and presents well. AQpart from a couple of annoying "defects" and being a LHD this is the sort of car I would describe as average to just above. Pity about the hammer price. I believe if this car was RHD it would easily make 45-50K. Taking to auction is a bit problematic unless LHD or a pile of trouble. Kenny38
