'MCP' stands for Management Car Plan' so this was initially an Austin Rover company car.

The internal department did the PDIs as the car didn't go through a dealer.

Fitted new wiper blades, checked levels, gave it a look over for mot, checked all lights work and put fresh petrol in it.

Guy the last owner that I got the car off bleed the brakes and fitted a new wheel cylinder because he had started to bleed brakes last year and wanted to finish what he had started before I collected it

The last owner fitted them because the bonnet had been run over and the boot was rusted plus the boot had a vitesse spoiler
