Iva... it was sold with a single known fault 
It still perfectly usable... as long as I time the gear changes/rev match perfectly
Paid £750... 2000 (W reg) 103,000miles, looong MOT, pioneer stereo, working aircon, enough airbags to make a bouncy castle... everything I wanted except leather
I'll list the cars faults...
Worn/non existent synchro on 2nd and 3rd gears
That is all
All in it would be less £1500 for a low mileage Audi A4 (B5) in excellent condition

To fix the Audi = £714 includes gearbox, VAT, car collected, box fitted and car delivered... Bargainous?
Isn't that what you paid for it? I'll list the cars faults...

How long has it been standing for ?
I have experience of longterm stationary cars.
Couple of years out of regular use, but it was shuffled frequently. I have experience of longterm stationary cars.
Fired up first time as ever, discs were saveable, but Feck it, Brembo OE were 120 odd quid for all four, new pads less and a weekend of crawling under it sorted that. Can get calliper service kits for pennies, so that'll be next. Back box arrived from Deutschland yesterday, that'll be after.
Nearly there.

Mine is a Spider, Lynx was making the convertible 10 years before the factory.
One of two to this spec, apparently.

Back in the late 80's my most wacko cousin's husband had a red XJS (not a convertible) with a white/cream leather interior. I loved that car; git wouldn't let me drive it though

I lusted after a DB7 too, til I drove one. Really burst my bubble. It's right what they say, never drive your heroes. iva cosworth said:
