"RARE COLOUR"
So rare in fact that its a one-off. Kier deliberately painted it that colour

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
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)

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