Good find, do wonder why its going through an auction though.

[SimonV8ster]

Yeah, bizarre that - seems to have everything somebody would want ! Low mileage, upgarde exhaust, ripshifter, AP's, etc, etc.

I was about to say that it is probably a reposession, then read the blurb - "Formerly owned by the MD of Greens of Rainham".

That'll be why.

My thoughts as well.

I think the liquidator/receiver has missed a trick by not putting it in the classifieds here.

I didnt read the full info on it, but yeah that will explain why its in an auction, taken a while to come through!

[dreamtoy]

Brought her home last Thursday and so far so good

Looking forward to meeting other 'aussies'

Crikey, you got that for under 9K? That is a hell of a bargain. I would have bought it for that and I've already got one

Welcome to the forum matey. Hope you enjoy the car, she's a beaut!

[dreamtoy]

Thanks guys! i paid slightly more than 9k but she's worth every penny

I'm in the Surrey area.

When you say slightly more would you mind giving an indication of what amount? Never seen one go through an auction before and be very curious what they make in relation to trade!

Big congrats btw

It's in the public domain, so I hope he doesn't mind me posting it for him. £17600

That's a hell of a lot of car for the money. I hope you can bring it along to the dyno day.

Different "LOT" number to the first linky which says SOLD for £8250.... strange eh?

Anyway, very nice car, and still cost less than my CV8 cost me a couple of years ago....

Oh and WELCOME!

What mods has she got ???

[dreamtoy]

She's got quite a bit- remapped ECU and four-branch manifolds, the limited slip differential has been upgraded and the gearchange mechanism improved via a RIP shifter kit, also AP Racing discs and the AVO suspension. Very good starting point i think
