Lol. Looks a bit short on history doesn't it.
Some people don't see the value in keeping a record of stuff though.
My father in law has never kept service/maintenance records for any car he's owned.

I'm not sure if I've read this correctly - but has it already had one blown/replacement engine previously?

I'd be tempted if it didn't have a sunroof. Could be a nice car when finished.

If you are vaguely tall, or are worried about leaks

Granted, but that's the same for any coupe, not just an LE confused

The LE seats actually sit an inch or two higher than standard 20VT seats. I know this as I'm 6' and my hair used to brush the roof lining of my LE with sunroof. I couldn't drive it with a helmet on (track days/Spa) so I custom made a Sparco drivers seat fit the fixings off an old doner 20VT seat I had.
Super comfy and a decent driving position thumb
By the way, I still have this adapted seat if anyone is interested?
Joe CC, are you still interested?

Not having a sunroof was one of the requirements when I bought both my coupes, partly because of the water ingress issues, dodgy mechanisms and partly that the sun roof spools the roof line.
