Time to move on..... Had the car for about 3 1/2years, loved my time with it, but decided to save up for something newer.
I brought the car on 88ish K, it had recently had a new HG, all new valves & top end rebuild after a cam belt snap. After about 1 year I replaced the clutch after it exploded, & did a full service at the time including a cam belt kit.
Over the years I have replaced;
Suspension, (fronts are Koni's), brake disks, lines, callipers on the front, all wheel bearings, exhaust, all engine mounts, starter motor, alternator, battery, wishbones, track rod ends, driveshaft’s, ARB bushes, HT leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, had a toad alarm fitted, and regularly serviced it, coolant, plugs, oil, gbox oil, brake fluid, PSfluid, ect ect ect.
I can’t think of much more, but I'm sure if you can think of any normal stuff I have done that as well!
The car is now on 113k.
Oh, a new bulkhead heat shield, and some nice OZ Ultraleggeras in 15's.
I think the MOT runs out mid Nov, and sure it has tax until the early part of next year. I will confirm…
The bodywork is where the car is very badly let down. I am ashamed to say it is very poor.
There is a small dent in the bonnet where I hit a small deer.
A small bit of flaking paint on the front bumper from a pressure washer.
The driver’s side sill has a massive hole in it, (although I do have a spare) and the rear arch has really poor paint. I repaired the rust, but painted it in the hot weather, and it is a flat as a pancake! There is also a hole in the rear tailgate at the bottom by the drain point.
The tyres are getting near the legal limit and the sunroof needs a new motor.
The private plate will be removed.
So, nice car, drives great, but with poor bodywork. I'm a bit flexible with the price, and may consider selling the wheels separately, but would need some PH's two's or similar in PX.
Sorry this ad is such a jumble, I just wanted to get something posted and will add more as it is requested.
I' located in Oxford. Call me on 07917845763 or email patrick.sheldon-battle@oup.com
Thanks
