Ooh, I WISH I had the money right now! Good luck finding it a good home!
12 months Mot, 2 months Tax. This car has covered a maximum of 90k miles. The speedometers has stopped at 81k miles. I have plenty of receipts and service history to prove how well this car has been looked after.
Good bits:
New cambelt
New waterpump
New oil pump
New thermostat
New brake pads front and rear
Two new wheel hubs
New driveshaft
Full set of Fensport polybushes
Full service including all new spark plugs, gearbox oil change, ball joints, oil filter and fuel filter.
Three oil services in the last year.
New powerflow stainless steel exhaust system.
New suspension top mount.
Abv mod done.
Uprated pulley mod done.
New supercharger belt and supercharger oil change.
Full underseal/waxoyl.
11 months Mot. 2 months Tax.
Bad bits.
(Not many bad bits left)!
Advisories on mot highlighted slight play on steering rack and two tyres were on the legal limit. That was all for the mot advisories which isn't bad for a car of this age. Although I wasn't really surprised considering the care it has had.
Other things which could be done are a respray on the front wing and bonnet as these are slightly faded in some areas which are only noticeable up close. The speedometers has stopped working at under 82000 miles and I would say that the car has done less than 90k miles in total as it has been garaged or driven to a workshop in Kent for maintenance and occasionally to my workplace locally.
When cruising at around 2500rpm, the electrical engine management light come on purely due to the lack of speed signal but this has absolutely no effect on the drive of the car. It just needs a new speedo drive which was my next job on the list of things to do. I currently use a GPS speedo which does the job. Other blemishes and imperfections are shown in the pictures and are very minor.
Lastly, one recent problem is the electric windows. The drivers side clicks when rising but goes up and down fine, the passenger side window needs encouragement to return to closed. I think they may just need a couple of new plastic cogs.
This is a fantastic car at a very reasonable price. I know that once its sold, i won't be able to find one this good for this price again.
I am looking for a 4x4 or estate car as my wife is pregnant again and i am running out of ways to justify keeping a two seater sports car!
I am in Basingstoke. call or text on 07764992666 with any questions or to arrange a viewing. i work a varied shift pattern so am available most days (however i am on a course in Kent over the next few weeks and back at weekends).
Cheers for your interest. Rob

Now sold for £2000 to someone from here. A very sad day. Hope to have another sometime in the future.
Hey BarneyOriginally Posted by BARNEY
This car is now on piston heads for £4795, WTF
Also the add uses your pictures (or at least the best ones) and only lists the good bits none of the bad bits that you honestly listed and also the new ad states "no rust" now I know your car was very good but you did show a couple of areas that needed attenion and I think the buyer is trying to pull the wool over someones eys and double there money, bit naughty in my books
