My 2001 has, bar 1 missed service before I bought it.

Mine's on 164k and has never missed a service.

I went and looked at the black FGP when for sale privately and I can tell from the pictures alone that a whole world of prep has gone into the car for sure. I walked away for loads of reasons.

Mainly the condition of the drivers side c pillar as lining had been destroyed by water or damp, the missing history, general condition of the paint, the general condition of the interior and the tyres needed to be changed in my opinion as were ancient and cracked but still had tread.

I was comparing my 2003 Turbo interior to that of this car at the time with less miles and the contrast was too stark to ignore.

A lot has been sorted by Luke.

Looks like my £7000 to £9000 estimate was too low.

141,000 miles is a pretty heroic total.

53000 since it's rebuild at Hartech

Apologies for the owner talking through the whole piece incessantly

Trying to take photos of a mostly black interior with morning sun on it, using my phone, has resulted in this rubbish!

[jonny996]

thanks, so it that what is left once the centre console is removed or do you need to order some finishing trim?

[richthebike]

You need to order some trim... a square of plastic for in front of the lever and some carpet.

Makes a huge difference if you are taller than average, and to my eye looks much better, also:

at 5'8" I think I can disregard the first reason, no arguing about second point. if you have a vanilla car with only the CD storage in there it looks very plastic, this finishes it much neater to me.

I did the centre console delete on mine and think it is worth the effort. I posted some info on part numbers here https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Great thread. Heres my MY99:



Have a full set of matching date ambers in the garage, undecided about them against the special order paint.

Such utterly fantastic cars.
