Yep, just spotted that...!

Methinks it's got 'issues'.

This must be the same car?

Ex police chief owned apparently.

Some people just wont listen! Next sucker...

Yep cars back up for sale! He has realised that after living in the centre of a town covered in speed humps and realised this isn't the car for every day use. He's had a report done at Porsche and yes they had a list of things but nothing that can't be sorted. Top of the list was track rod end (which has been done) and no rear seats, also said that the tyres have only 3mm left in them so have put this down as "dangerous".

Just saw this car in the morning when coming off the M1 near brent cross. Didn't look particularly tidy.

Externally its mint? A very small mark on the front wheel arch the size of a 5 pence.

My colleague also said it was tatty 'in the metal'.

[kevj84]

Interior maybe, exterior Definitely not.

It was still tatty either way then.

Can you really judge a cars appearance when it's on the move on a motorway (especially in this weather where 2 miles of driving will dirty the cleanest of cars)

It's not perfect thats for sure. Couple of trim parts missing and no rear seats.

Exactly. I seen it this afternoon and after a 300 mile round trip it's bogging.

[kazino]

I'll elaborate. We were stuck in traffic just outside brent cross. I was also in my turbo and we were next to each other in the traffic. Of course can't judge a book by it's cover, but the body styling didn't seem to fit particularly well and the car didn't "look" like it was sitting on the wheels too well either.

Bit of an update! Finally got to the bottom of the reason behind the damage. It was an engine fire back in 2007. Damaged the rear interior and most of the trim and new engine needed.

So does bogging mean good or bad?

[kevj84]

Bogging = Very dirty

[yajeed]

Kevin - are you ready to admit it's your car yet? It'd probably help with the sale rather than hinder it as people could speak to you informally before deciding whether or not to view.

[kevj84]

Really?? I wish, with a young family in tow i'm certainly not the owner of this. If i was i'd be more than happy to admit it? In fact the only time i get to drive this car is when it's in need of a clean!

Update: my colleague's just bought this one from 911virgin:
