1985 VS for sale

With great regret we are selling our lovely X1/9 which we have owned for the last eighteen years. The car has only 48,000 miles on the clock, and is in great condition. We are the third owners and it has a complete history, including the original sales receipt, and every service and MoT since it's registration on 28/01/1985. We have every invoice for every spare bought for the car as well.
It was resprayed back in 2005, from all over silver to it's original silver over gunmetal grey with a red pinstripe. The driver's doorskin was replaced before that respray. The painwork is in excellent condition.
Weld repairs to the sills rearwards of both doors was carried out four years ago. The passenger door was also weld repaired at the same time. The car has never been used by us in the winter so the bodywork is in sound condition for it's age.
Since owning the car, we have replaced the battery, the exhaust, the shock absorbers, all the brake calipers and discs, the water pump, the coil, the fan belt, the brake and clutch master cylinders and the fuel hoses. All the flexible brake hoses have been replaced with braided items and the automatic choke replaced with a manual one. It has four new tyres.
The car was on the front cover of the 2018 club calendar, when we drove it to Turin to the old Fiat factory and back.
There are a few minor dents in the bodywork but nothing serious.
Third gear is starting to get a bit notchy if rushed, buit as I don't have the facilities to drop the gearbox out and overhaul it, I have lived with it for the last year or so. It is certainly not serious and doesn't detract from the pleasure of driving the car. I have recenlty replaced the gearbox oil which has helped tremendously.
Given the age of the car it is in excellent condition and so I am asking £8000. As we are in the North East of Scotland if anyone is interested I can send detailed pictures of all aspects of the car.
It is MoT'd until April 2023

Thanks,
