Yes, it's one of three 1989 Model Year Prestige's that were supplied in the UK known to be around, and the vendor is correct in saying that it was the last, with chassis number ending in 017.

One of very few Meteor Grey Prestige's that is too. The second to last Prestige is here, which is in only original Black/Black Leather car known to survive...

The third 1989 Model Year Prestige actually resides with WHM - his personal car he's owned for many a year...

Looks smart on the surface, however large miles and caveat emptor regarding that rear end welding needed "at 3 rear chassis mounts"... :sprint:

Obviously I have not seen the car, and cannot 'really' comment however if it's on the mounts then sounds like the subframe has to be removed to repair properly.

Not a humongous job, however maybe something not to get involved in...
