Sorry to be selling our 480 Celebration (122/480)
This car was part of a classic car collection (then I bought it)
Mileage - 101K. Colour - Dark Blue

Good condition. Very clean car throughout.
Lots of history and MOT,s bills ect.

Things that work/good points;
Electric windows
Electric door mirrors
Illuminated key entry
Air conditioning
Heated seats
Power steering
CD player and radio
Pop up lights (new hinges)
New exhaust back box
Great condition alloys
Straight body (the odd small mark around the car but hardly noticeable)

Things that don't work/temperamental/bad points
Fan speed switch
Info centre comes on eventually, sometimes freezes. (Loose connection?)
Slight engine issue. Starts and drives but lacks power. (Low compression?)


Based in Warrington, Cheshire. UK. Please message for pictures.

That looks quite good Jen, but that's not Dark Blue, it's Dark Grey.
The Celebs weren't available in blue that's why I questioned it at first, the grey ones are still rare mind!

Thanks for letting me know. We were debating the colour.

I'm open to offers if any one is interested..... We love the car, just have a long commute to work so it's not the most practical.
