Seems a fair price... If all else fails, they will always break for more than that.....

Could be a nice project so long as it's not too rusty

No mention of mileage/service history or recent work though - they can cost a fair few quid to fettle up to scratch.

I,ve always liked these cars, especially seeing Will's car a few years ago. This one looks like it could be well worth the money, like will says though I would want to have a good look over it for rust as it can kill these cars, I can,t forget the pics of the amount of rust around the rear chassis of jays immaculate example.

the rear suspension seems low?

Will · 19-02-2012, 09:21 PM

Not unusual if it's been sitting around. The rear is hydraulic SLS so may need some work (easy and cheap to repair).

Worth noting that it was already warm when started on that video clip, and it's idling too high. Looks like it might be overfuelling if you look at the exhaust?

Door cards are in the usual poor condition, lap timer and OTG screens have gone (again common).

Nice late 2.3 though on an 'E' and has the ASD setup.

122k miles looks about right to me, and the body doesn't look too dreadful for a £1200 car.

I'd be tempted to give it a look if I was after another, but I've recently got another one
