CJ Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I bought this car ages ago with the intention of doing it up and bringing it out to Greece with me. Unfortunately, the Greek laws regarding import tax and my failure to sell a house in Wales has meant it now has to go - and at a bargain price of just £3750 Now looking at offers over £3000 The car is a 1997 Facelift NA (auto). I am the second UK owner and I bought it as a damaged car (not registered on the insurance database as a Cat anything - just damaged) and have spent loads of money with Jezz at Silverstone Garage to put it back to its former glory. It has been on a jig to ensure it is all straight, had new panels where necessary and been sprayed to a high standard. All this can be confirmed by Jezz. It comes in the Gunmetal colour which, in my opinion, is the best looking standard colour available. She is showing approximately 80k miles on the clock and comes with 7 months MOT. It is 7 as she has not moved nor done any mileage since the last MOT. The car is not taxed as I didn't want to do that and then try to reclaim the money from Greece. It also includes the private plate as shown It has standard alloys on ATM but if anyone can go to (Maz) MK47's house, there are a set of 17" alloys and tyres there and they can be included in the sale price. I "think" it has an alarm but this would need confirming with Jezz as the car is still with him at Silverstone Garage. This is also where the car would need to be viewed. If you have any questions, please contact me via PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CoolsBlue Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 where are the sidelights?? would you take £3200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 where are the sidelights?? would you take £3200? I think it will be a case of buying new facelift indicators. No big deal. When it went on the Jig did it line up? Or did it need pulled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did it need pulled? AFAIK, it all lined up OK as the body shop guy was happy when it went to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Nice motor CJ Thanks Rob. If the import situation was different in Greece I would have thought about bringing it down but alas, it now has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought facelifts had the smooth wings and clear front indicators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought facelifts had the smooth wings and clear front indicators? Read back - it's had the indicators replaced but sticking the facelift ones back on is a relatively easy job. Smooth wings?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks Steve s'ok - it looks like a nice car - I'd have bitten your hand off you if I didn't think I'd need all the funds I can lay my hands on soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ah I see, lol yes I said smooth wings as they have no indicators in I thought! Good luck with the sale, lovely colour that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Ah I see, lol yes I said smooth wings as they have no indicators in I thought! Aha, I gotya now. Facelifts still have side repeaters - clear ones that a lot of pre-facelift owners go out & buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought facelifts had the smooth wings and clear front indicators? You are correct. The side repeaters on the facelift car are on the bumper and not the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
