Or are the others just over priced?

OK so it's not an EVO or Special Edition but it's a 16V rather than an 8V
Is it just the colour?

Not a huge fan of grey but the angular lines of the Integrale are set off by the colour in this instance.

Mileage maybe, and you can take your choice between LHD and RHD and either 2 or 5 owners.

I'm no integrale expert but the main thing that would be put me off with this car is lack of originality (especially the interior) which probably is starting to count for a lot. The colour looks good on these though, because you can't see the plate it's difficult to see what the MoT history is like which obviously may tell you a lot..

I also thought the 16V was only available from 1989 onward and that a 1988 car would be an 8V, although it's got a 16V bonnet there aren't any engine photos to confirm otherwise.

My real worry would be is when the market realigns itself (hopefully as I want one of these) that a "bitsa" car like this would be the first to lose value. Still nice though

When the market re-aligns.

there are so many of us waiting for that to happen, wish it would hurry up.

Thanks for the info Monkey legend, difficult to establish what it really is, agreed. Is it a bitsa though? Don't recognise the seats and interior, wher e did they come from?

Sloppiness in adverts always puts me off. If they can't get the number of owners correct first time and say it is both right and left hand drive it makes you wonder what else is wrong and whether they are trustworthy.
