It's not, no. It was on ebay and somewhere else I can't remember.

To briefly answer it has had two previous owners, the last one having it since 2001. For unknown reason he had it laid up in 2004 and it was recommissioned in Nov13.
A photograph left in the docs would suggest it spent some time in Spain prior to that.

MOTs show that it did most of it's 91,000 miles early on between 97-02.
It has a good service history with cam belts replaced last year at 84,000
Engine is the 2.0 turbo.
After I've unblocked the sunroof drain tubes and fitted a new window switch pack I'll take some more pics.

TBH I was very unsure of getting a silver car as I have become anti over the years but it's certainly growing on me. The Zircon has a very subtle blue tinge in it which looks better than a pure silver imo.
More importantly though the paint work is in good condition generally with very few blemishes. So all good!

I have exactly the same feelings about silver (in general) and Zircon in particular). That little touch of blue makes a world of difference.

Talking about the blue in Zircon, when I got a tin of spray made up for my Zircon car and used it on a front wing I thought it looked a little greenish. Once it had dried and I put the clear lacquer on top the tinge disappeared.
Subliminally, my user name was created because of that car. I do miss it though and just for old times sake...
