So GTV update.
Bought as two owner 40,ooo mile car but dropped it into L&M italian just outside of Henley to get it looked over and have its cambelt changed as it was done about a 1000 miles ago , but that equates to 4 years. Service book stamped up to 36000 .
L&M said it was one of the nicest they had seen for ages
Then took £2000 off me for things that needed doing!
You can see why these cars were so cheap for such a long time as people simply binned them when anything serious happened.
On the plus side , if I thought it was good before she is absolutely stunning now, really tight and feels barely run in . The Twin spark engine pulls like a train and is very tuneful , its a completely different drive from my Abarth 595 ( my daily) Ok so the remote locking doesn't work and you can only unlock both doors from the passenger side and the stereo turns itself off but those are just minor foibles.
