Boot is quite well worn as it was used by a German Shepherd Dog, so quite a few scratches and fur. Two tyres are losing some pressure (5psi/week), likely due to damage on the alloys. Seats are worn but in reasonable shape, drivers seat has some tears as shown below. Temperature gauge normally sits at around the 7-8 o'clock mark, diagnostics shows it runs at around 69C. Rear wiper works, but no water comes from the jet - possible hose break or blockage? Some scratches here and there I'll attempt to show them on the photos. Some rust behind passenger side front wheel arch.

Located in East London.

Car had a cherished plate on it which was placed on retention Sunday. New plates ordered from Demon Plates which should arrive this week with the updated V5C.

Ideally after £800 but open to offers.
