OK I have decided to take the plunge, I will probably regret this but its up for sale;

Original Bookpack
Lots of old MOT's
Current MOT to February 2015

History of car

Substantial restoration project carried out in my ownership as below;

Stainless exhaust removed, back to standard (all new excluding manifold and CAT)
Rear Brake discs, pads and integral wheel bearings replaced
Front discs and pads replaced
New OEM front shocks/springs/top mounts and bearings

1 new Rear quarter bump strip
New Sony single CD Player

Door speakers upgraded to Pioneers
New clutch cable
I am sure theres more but my memory is running out. Most receipts kept and restoration documented in pics (can follow thread on here)
Bad Bits
Dent on roof near sunroof (I recon a good dent man could remove)
Drivers door card cracked
Exhaust is knocking. I am working on this as its annoying, some more rubbers ordered but want to make people aware
Headlight pneumatic adjustment not working (common on 3's I am told)
I have spent a significant amount of money on this car. It drives awesome, performs great, there are no misfires, flat spots or the like. Its awesome to drive. I am asking £3,500 which I think is fair given the cars condition and the work thats gone into it. I have sourced OEM Renault parts wherever possible.
I have spare parts too which will come with the car; Alloy race spec Radiator (brand new) Silicone hoses, Front subframe (I was going to get powder coated black and fitted as part of restoration project, new OEM Renault clutch cable. Anything else in the garage that fits it you can have too. Please note these items come if the asking price is paid (radiator is worth £100 alone) otherwise I will ebay them seperately to recoup some money spent on it.
Its an honest car, the interior is lovely, yes there are still niggles that a perfectionist will sort but I am not asking £5000, I think £3,500 is sensible money. Spent £1500 on ebay at your own peril. Like mne you will need deep pockets or will end up scrapping it. I am an enthusiast, the vehicle is garaged, if your serious give me a call, come and look at the car, you can have a warts and all look at it and make an informed decision. I am not desperate to sell it, just fancying a 2 seater. I love this car and want it to go to a good home. I will upload some quality pics tomorrow but theres one below as a teaser.
Call me on 07557 107782 if you want to discuss anything.
