Regarding mileage - my mate just bought this for under a grand.

I think it has around 130k, you really wouldn't know... buy on condition - not mileage.
Poor ITR, what on earth have you done to that poor car frown

This and the extra room makes the T190 or DC2 appealing as a step on.

I'm in Whalley! If my S2 Rallye hadn't been smashed up, you could've had a poke around. frown

As above, give me a shout if you need any help.

Not many good 'uns for sale at the moment, I know this one from the 106owners club, it's been very well looked after. Could be worth a pop?

Chris Stevenson is the guy I got the Cupra from - into his VAG cars mostly.

Karl Peel is more of a Vauxhall guy, he runs the GNJ Motorsport website if you've heard of them, a tuning firm local to you.

I had a quick look at that last night - the picture with the fake Borbet's fitted put me straight off!

Yeah, I had/have a blue S2 (it's not on the road, but I'm hoping to get it back, it's still with the insurers for now). There used to be 3 of them around Clitheroe - mine, one up by the cement works which has now gone (he had a white one with cage etc too, also gone) and there's another one that's been chavved up too.

Not seen a blue Zetec for a while, I usually see silver!

not heard of either of them, I'm probably a bit young and new to cars me thinks.

Yeah, the owner has some questionable taste, but a day of spanner work putting standard struts back on etc and you'd never know. He's done enough mechanical work to it recently to bring it up to a good standard, and always looked after the paintwork etc.

That could well have been me! Did it look pretty standard with white alloys?

Just don't crash one, I expect you wouldn't escape with your legs.
