Red 820 Vitesse fastback no reg

This looks like an early one with that dash. I wonder what "extras" were fitted from the factory.
Some decent pictures could make this a wow car.

Although this car on the face of it look's genuine enough and with what is possibly a good early MK2 vitesse would you trust the seller from the description given and part with £1500?

The sum of money itself is where we all believe our cars should be heading and if not more but ad's like these do us no favours at all. Maybe someone living close by could pop along and have a look to see how genuine the car is.

So the ABS light comes on, not in the picture it doesn't and the engine is running, With only 24k on the clock why has the head been skimmed? Funny how the number plate is just out of picture. Still, seats look good but as mentioned already what are the special fittings added ?Could it be the door cards from a later model as they are Rover embossed and therefore not the originals.

The head could have been skimmed as a precautionary measure when changing the pre-96 leaky cheese-like head gasket
