Broker's Comments

Wow!! I can say from personal experience this is a fantastic Rib. If it a fast, fun, exhilerating, econmical mile muncher, look no further. Scorpion build great Ribs, their sea handling qualities, build quality and attention to detail are well reported, and this package just seems to tick all the boxes. In excellent condition, and perfectly maintained.
All the thrills, and performance expected from a Rib, with the economy to bring an added smile to your face.
