If I was in the market for a 4th Gen, I'd go for this cheaper one anyway.

I suspect that number plate has been moved to another car? The MOT check for that reg number shows a blue prelude, with 119k miles on it.

Location of the business is some random business park where another car dealer was listed which has mostly negative reviews. the LTD company has only recently been formed. No smoke without fire I'd say.
