Mk1b C390 FTU in Norwich

Hello all. Newbie here, prompted to join because I caught sight of a red Mk. 1a (CORRECTED) C390 FTU, now on sale at a dealer in Norwich. 117,000 miles.

Dealer picked it up at auction a few weeks ago (possibly Anglia Car Auctions - although I can't find it in their recent inventory). Appears to have sat for a while, some evidence of a re-spray on the offside rear. Small areas of rust in the usual problem spots around the door sills. No service history, some past MOT certificates.

Not sure I know enough about them to bite at anything like £3,995.

That's a 1a not a 1b .

Told you I was a newbie :silent:

Seems a slightly expensive to me, although it's all down to body condition and what you (or someone else) is prepared to pay. For that kind of money I'd expect all the normal body problems to have been sorted properly, otherwise I'd walk away

Prices do seem to be on the up. Still wouldn't say it was worth that much cash.

It's quite expensive although it's an early 1a so if it's clean then might be worth that. Might just be my wishfully thinking that they are starting to go that far up in value though.

Pretty sure that this finished under £2k at the auction if I remember correctly.
