Gee, I wish my 7 year-old car was as clean as yours - its the interior that always looks grubby. Perhaps a beige upholstry was not a good idea particularly the leather seats which have turned a denim blue colour because I am always in jeans. I use leather wipes to clean and nourish the seats particularly the drivers seat. Any tips on keeping the interior clean would be welcome

Also has been serviced every six months. I have the bill of sale Still retains dealer plates and stickers Mudflaps ETC
Cost 12135 pounds when new March 8th 1989
