"RARE COLOUR"

So rare in fact that its a one-off. Kier deliberately painted it that colour :lol: :lol: In it's former life it was silver

And Kier sold the car for a song. I'm sure it was £2k or thereabouts so someone has/is going to make a killing :?

I don't, doubt it was bought for anything near that price and too much salesman bullshit in the ad' trying to talk it up ...


Well, I don't really, but if it does I'll be putting mine up for £15k! And mine has new tyres.....

Poor old Matt didn't get O level English Language :wink:

That rear screen is the worst I've ever seen. And what's that blue, leaf shaped thing on the hind quarters ? (In the photo before the shot rear screen) :shock:

Sorry, hadn't picked that up amongst all the other stuff :oops:

You'd think he would have got some dark green tape and cut it nicely though :?

Down as

"No warranties what so ever"

As a dealer he must remember that new laws covering the sale of 2nd hand cars by a trade seller give the buyer a 6 month period during which they can ask for any faults to be rectified by the seller.

Not sure that really matters as i think he is the highest bidder on his own car ...

Awaiting the re listed due to time waster ... Him being the biggest one .

Yes, but he may have been selective about what he photographed. It's near me so if anybody interested wants me to go take a look to check out usual things like rusty wishbones I'm happy to do so... might save a long journey.
I'm curious to have a look at that chargecooler installation.. and to know why pulling warm air from the engine compartment and feeding it through a chargecooler was the way to go ... :banghead:

MOT advisory (26 Jan '17) says "4 tyres are cracking in thread" .

That thought had gone through my mind too but it's another thing I know fluffall about :?

I never like driving on cracked sidewalls so I would suggest the new owner inspect/replace asap. At least check the date of manufacture from the sidewalls and make a judgement from there
