As it left the showroom? Isn't that a Chinese front bumper (look at the size of the gaps around the headlights!)

He has had loads on sale normally for rich prices too. To be fair though, those additions, (hideous as they are - to me, bar the dash) do suggest an enthusiast previous owner, and if the mileage is genuine, I would suggest a price around £1500-£2500 in the current market. With such low mileage I would be concerned of the clutch cylinders and their lack of movement. Because of the colour, for me personally it would be scrap value lol (green is an unlucky colour for cars in my family).

Seven years off the road - ouch!
12 years since it was last serviced according to the dealer's blurb. 240 miles since it was last MoT'd in June 2019, but no advisories even at the 2019 test.

I've seen a fair few 75s up for sale from this guy. The write ups are all worded in a very similar manner with just the specific details of the car edited where necessary. His favourite phrase is "immaculate condition commensurate with age", which in my book means "covered in chips and dings but what do you expect for a 15-20 year old car?" Sorry - that's the cynic in me coming to the surface.
He was selling a duotone saloon in BRG over Arbour Green a while back which was a beautiful looking car in the pictures but the asking price brought tears to my eyes.

I know the classic way out for non sellers is for them to be shifted through the trade at a much lower price and the next dealer is happy to sell at a sensible margin. It's almost like the original dealer doesn't like to admit their greed by selling at a lower price to a private purchaser but it's acceptable to put it back through the trade. Antique dealers seem to have the same attitude.
