She used to be mine.
I sold her about 2.5 yrs ago.
Blue and cream sp12 wheels...stainless dash.
I understand you've already done the deal, they r a great bunch and will look after you. Tbh your lucky I didn't see it first. I'd of gladly had her back.
Any questions just ask smile

Excellent :-)

Kerridges said the last owner barely used it, its now done 58000 miles. Looks to be in lovely condition and stunning colour combo exterior to interior.

I do have a couple of questions that you may know the answer to.....
1. It's got a Wilwood brake upgrade, did you fit this or was this done after your ownership?
2. Is it still running standard engine management?
3. Has it got the standard shocks?

I'm picking it up tomorrow and will be asking them these questions as well as they're things that have pooped into my head since falling in love with last Sunday :-).
I'm coming from having a Clio 200 as my toy to this, so a tad different but cannot wait!!!

I've just been over to see her !
She looks amazing !
The paint is immaculate still and the noise !!
I just told the guys over there I'd of bought it back if I'd known.
Ok.
The brakes were not me...but look really cool.
There was receipt from Mark adams in the history with a dyno chart and tornado chip install on it
She has racing red top shocks
I did the wheels, the dash, sleeved the cans and a new immobiliser too.
I got her from a tornado pilot in Peterborough. He'd been stationed away so much he never drone her.

Good luck. She's lovely...really cammy idle..I love that.

Haha, brilliant!

Can't wait to go and pick it up tomorrow. Was quite a spontaneous purchase when I went to see it last Sunday with my dad.
Sounds like it's certainly been taken care of which is nice to know. I was slighty worried when posted the thread that I was going to get a load of replies saying "stay away!".

I'm in love!!!!

My dad had the privelage of driving it home and as I was going London for the night, this afternoon was my first chance to drive it properly. Went for a two hour drive and all I can say is that it's an absolute beast of a car! Got quite a few looks as well being a 25 year old who looks 21 haha. But all part of the fun.
Everything is so heavy and mechanical. The only performance car I've owned previously was my clio 200 as a toy, it's a very different animal.
I like that it's fun to drive it casually, feel no great need to hustle it along and people tried to race me (a scooby and a vxr) but I obviously didn't bother as there's just no point.

I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to drive it :-)
