Horrendous I can't disagree with you there. It's horrible! That should help keep the price low! Also not keen on the stainless trim under the headlights or the alloys. Note the body colour door mirrors and missing window winder on the passenger door card. Otherwise, it looks a tidy enough car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT2400 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 For anyone considering this I’d be very cautious!! Lost of evidence of paint around the car (36k miles?!), there’s blistering all over the rear arches, the arch lips have also been chopped off, the rear panel is an abomination and the adornment of ‘Turbo’ and ‘NOS’ stickers left me feeling that she really wasn’t that special!!

It sold for £6600 plus 12% commission. Not bad given the iffy rear end etc. I wonder who has bought it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The back end was awful in the flesh, and yes the whole car had been painted onlt thing good about it was the interior that bore the hallmarks of only covering 36k, steering wheel was mint and the front seats were perfect. Too much money and too many mods to get back to standard the cost would far outway the value in the long run. You would never get the arches back to original without new quarters and new wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmist Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Funny thing is I have an email off last owner stating paintwork is better than new. Whole car was a bit rough. Sold for £7260 total! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT2400 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 As I said the car was generally rubbish, I’d rather have a £10k mint car in the portfolio rather than trying to get this to the standard. A fabulous car ruined...I now look forward to seeing it come to the market!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
