Located in Gloucestershire

Spotted this while having a wee nosey on Autotrader - very rare car, sought after spec and rare wheels, low miles and looks very clean - bargain for someone!

Short MOT and some paintwork issues but still a bargain in my book

How? Did you get your microscope out? Looked fine to me but i did only give a few nanoseconds.

I think Carl has laser vision, he does spot things a lot of us miss.

I thought it looked smart aswell, but if you read the ad, it mentions hazey paint and test til November, cheap low miler though

The Autotrader ad gives much more description than the Gumtree ad ?

Seems a fine car though, low miles and looks VERY presentable..........short MOT shouldn't be a problem to most potential buyers at that price?

I would have thought a 16v would have had a more appealing front end but its just like a bog standard base model.

Otherwise quite appealing.

This car was on ebay back in April but I couldn't look at it as I was on holiday. It didn't sell but I contacted the owner and looked at it in late June/ early July. It was in the Forest of Dean.

It went well with good power but there was a knock from the front end, the rocker cover gasket had failed and was making a big mess (since done I understand) but that paintwork!!! It's pretty bad! I seriously doubt it would mop out. That was the deal breaker, although I could've had the car for £400. Otherwise, other than surface rust on stuff underneath it's a solid car with no rotten bits.

It needs some money spent on it to get it looking good that's for sure, but as already said, it's a rare car and is worthy of keeping up together and on the road.
