Looks a lovely example and there cannot be too many early se knocking around now in good nick? Always think the older cars sit nicer somehow...looks like a low line as well, which adds to the appeal IMHO....same as mine lol.

Obviously less roomy for the larger person, but a great car none the less.

Also 100 bhp at the wheels is not to be sniffed at and will surprise much more powerful cars.

And then there's the cross flow noise at full chat which takes some beating.....

Bump for a nice car at a very good price!

GLWTS.

Hi Mart,

 

Thanks - I'll get the tape measure out tonight to confirm if it is a low line.
