^^^^ Not GTI, RS, Cosworth WRX, Evo, S3, M3, VRX, Cupra.

I thought eBay were stamping out these header descriptions.

I'd love to meet the type of people that would actually turn up to see a car like that, especially after reading a listing like that one.

To be fair - that could be a *lot* worse.

It wouldn't take much to tone it down a bit really.

Are you sure? Can't imagine new tyres/rims and a whole new interior would be cheap smile

I'd be more elated if it had some chequer panel off of that old landie on it somewhere. Sunroof shaped chequer panels on the roof?

Hi and welcome to the listing of this absolutely fantastical Cagiva sto, sorry I meant mito!!
Im selling this bike for a young mechanic that works with me in our local friendly garage, 84 autos stainforth, cant beat a bit a bit of free advertising can you wink
In my opinion the bike is a pile of scrap, but then again, im not into riding hairdryers, so each to their own i suppose!!!

For a young lad these bikes are ideal, they are quick, for a hairdryer, handle really well, and make little boys think they are riding a mans bike cos apparently they look like a ducati!

This is a genuine 7 speed and runs well although it looks like a complete pile of ste!
The powervalve control unit doesnt work, but then again, i dont think there is a mito left on the planet that has a working one, its a bit like a mark 3 fiesta being rotten, its just one of those things!! This doesnt seem to affect the power of the bike though so its not a worry.

As you may or may not know, these bikes have the worst wiring known to man but this is not a problem as the little monkey mechanic did my head in for a few days until i rewired it all for him, have you seen the size of his ears, what a shocking young man, seriously, check out the pic!!!

Theres not really anything wrong with the bike, but young spunky thinks hes almost a man now and wants to buy a zxr 400 with a restrictor, cos the law says hes too much of a little boy to ride a big bike, i let him have a go of my ninja 600 and he pretty much came in his pants so now the cagiva has to go!

These bikes are increasing in price now, god knows why, theyre poo!! so you can grab a bargain with this bright yellow discusting thing, plus you dont need to worry about getting bug splatter on the front fairing cos when traveling down the road flat out, the flies have time to turn around and fly away so thats a plus point.

The bike comes with a full spare fairing set although they need a bit of tlc.
All joking apart, this would make a good starter bike for a youngun to get used to riding, or a good commuter bike for summer. It does need a bit of tlc but theres nothing major and is mechanically sound.

I dont want people coming just to have a ride on it cos theyre bored and a test ride will only be given if full money is put in my hand before you ride off cos if you bin it, you bought it, that simple, no arguements, then nobody has to go in a steel barrel and be dumped in the north sea!!

st the bed, ive just got cramp in the back of my leg, that really hurt!!
I recommend that you come to have a look at the bike before buying but if you dont, thats up to you.

The bike is sold as seen, is cash on collection, and is yellow!!
The bike will not be swapped for a stolen chimpanzee and a lifetime supply of bananas, they poo a lot and i cant be bothered to clean up after it.

The bike needs to be collected within 3 days of listing end and contact made within 24 hours.

Young spunky mechanic thinks im in here writing a very serious ad thatll make his bike sell quicker!!! ha ha ha ha, serves him right for breaking the key on my vectra thats gonna cost me £200 to replace the little bell whacker!!
The bike is for sale though, and it is yellow wink

Looking back a few pages I have at long last decided to come out and confess that I really like this:

Sorry if I have let myself, and anyone else down!

Seriously, when I first saw one of these Preludes on the road, in profile, when they were first introduced, I was gob-smacked at its beauty.
