That would be an ideal car for export.
Particularly as it's located in Portsmouth.
The only catch is Canada requires a car to be 15 years old from date of manufacture so depending on the date it may be able to be brought straight in, or may have to wait.
The USA is out as they require a 25 year wait. No 75's for them!

I parked up behind this car on the ferry home from Spain in October, I had a chat with the driver and complimented him on the excellent condition, from the outside it looked 'as new' and told him about our club.
The owner said he loved the car, he had a property in either Spain or Portugal and was starting to spend more of his time there and would have to have the car re-registered, the cost of which was prohibitive being much more than the value of the car so he very reluctantly was going to sell it and was hoping for a good price. Judging by the dealers asking price he may well have got a good deal.
In fact I took a photo of the reg no to see if I would come across it again, be a good car to mothball and use for European trips but not sure whether I would want to pay that price.

I spend from 8 to 9 months a year in France and would like a left hooker but not at that price, even though mine is 5 years older and done 77k I think it is better looking on the inside with the walnut trim but it may just be poor photography but this look very dark and the drivers seat seems to have had a bit of a hammering for those low miles. Just my opinion.

Interior looks darker as the Contemporary has “ dark oak” trim.
