Description
£7000 buys the car, £7500 buys the car with ALL the extras listed below.
A fantastic car, obviously and this one at an affordable price (As can be seen from the very recent Pistonheads auction for a 20k mile higher car), largely because it's not cosmetically perfect, but mechanically it's on-song and accelerates, drives and handles wonderfully, and sounds pretty epic with the steel exhaust, de-cat and intake into the bargain. I'd been hoping to not have to sell her after 5 years ownership but I need to grow up and at my age, this is not terribly appropriate for my look, needs or my wife's ears...
The car has the usual tiny stone chips in the windscreen and bonnet. There's a tiny bit of bubbling on the drivers side rear arch which will need scraping, treating and repainting but it's a 50p piece size at the moment. It's condition is better than many much lower mileage cars i've seen but a little effort would improve it further. I've seen it and treated it as a car to enjoy and it's ticked every single box in that respect. It lives with an RX8 PZ, two MX5s and an e36 M3 so it's in good company but time to move on.
The car can be purchased with over £1000 worth of spares, accessories, magazines and marketing materials, all detailed below and in addition to the advertised car price.
It's a spectacular "hero" car in fantastic mechanical condition ready to be enjoyed without any guilt, concern or worry.
