Registration no. ACK 611A
Chassis no. 114666DN

Cheaper to insure, the '2.4' is also capable of delivering superior fuel consumption - an important consideration these days, even for classic cars - particularly when equipped with overdrive transmission, as is the case with this example.
While this 2.4-litre Mk2 was in the private ownership of a lady from Somerset, the Haynes Motor Museum carried out extensive refurbishment work between May 2007 and May 2009 at a cost in excess of £3,000. Bills for the latter are on file together with other more recent ones from M&C Wilkinson totalling in excess of £2,000 for spares and accessories supplied to the vendor, during whose ownership the vehicle has received a high quality re-spray. All chromework is reported as excellent and the interior trim is said to be in very good condition, as is the wood veneer. The under-bonnet area approaches show standard and the vehicle as a whole is very well presented, driving very well. Finished in blue with grey leather interior, 'ACK 611A' comes with a complete genuine tool kit and is offered with the aforementioned invoices, MoT/tax to September 2011 and Swansea V5 registration document.
