REMARKS
Every facet of this aircraft ticks the boxes normally on a buyer's want list: low time - generous engine hours - factory engine - new prop - LCD avionics - immaculate paint - leather seats - good plastics - clean glass - and of course must have been hangered, have no corrosion, and only been in private ownership.
One would struggle to find a better spec'd and condition example of this type in Australasia.
An inspection will not disappoint.
