Paintwork is again fantastic on this latest example,highly reflective with a deep glossy shine,it’s clear to us this car was  extremely well looked after & garaged by its previous entusiast owner.The black stone paint suits this car very well looking very purposeful,it’s clear to see this car has a dual personality,on the one hand,a great practical and versitile estate car and on the other hand a proper performance car!


Having test drove at length we are pleased to report it drives beautifully,handling is taut,steering feeling is great and the 4WD provides immense security in all weathers. the charismatic 5-pot 20V engine is smooth and powerful and provides plenty of overtaking punch when needed,the 5-speed adaptive automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and precisely and is a real pleasure to use,no clonks rattles at all from the drivetrain,just smooth refined progress.Interior is squeak and rattle free and the whole feeling is of a car that is incredibily solid and surefooted.After the popularity  of the first example we daily searched on the ground in Japan to eventually get lucky and source this fantastic example.The new owner we’re sure will be truly delighted with this car.Costing £38,000 when new in 2000 this is a lot of estate for the money!
