Current problem with smoking after going downhill but this doesn’t affect the performance.
Still a lovely smooth quiet engine. Paint work still good. Nice comfy car

Love it, smooth, sounds good, feels good

Car maintenance

RFL is £320 pa, does 29 mpg (31 when I bought it 10 years ago) uses a bit of oil, possibly due to smoking issue.
