E30 Zone

Just wondered if anyone has seen the nice looking calypso red motorsport cab for sale at Hillingdon motor company, it's priced at £5,995, must have been for sale for at least a year. Is there something dodgy about it? Cheers.

Hillingdon motor company dont sell nice cars especially E30's.

They only deal in sheds mush!

Thats a shame as it looks like a good one.

They've had it for a long time. Si's right, Steer clear.

About a year. They also had a macau motorsport and a shoddy Alpina C2 kikng around for ages.

I've been watching the one at Hillingdon to see when they'll finally drop the price. Hasn't dropped a penny in months

they've got an Alpina E39 3.3. Do you reckon thats a wrongun as well?

what evidence are the above comments based on? looks like a nice car

ive also seen this one for a year and they were trying to sell a alpina a couple of months ago for 5k with 168k miles, i went down and looked at it,it was in a very poor state.

They have a very bad rep.
Dont bother.
Always have scabby Msports

i persoanlly didnt like there customer service; have been there before and returned unhappy! but maybe thats jsut me!

get it rac'ed if in doubt!

isnt this the same car that Brettski picked up from classy chassis a few years back??

yea it is bloody hell you've got a good memory!! it had 109000 miles on the clock when i had it i just tidied it up and sold it on i wanted a manual really don't like autos. the roof didn't work when i had it but i believe its working properly now.

looking a nice car and being one are 2 totally different things. What gets my back up is good zoners offering sound advice so people don't get their fingers burnt buying a 6 grand shed. And you come out with this tripe

prove us wrong and buy it and tell the world about the dream sale and service you had from these guys because you'll be the only one

Another shite day in the office Si?

could say that thankfully i've a week off!

That cab has been on autotrader for longer than a year.... way before i bought mine.. it was the one of my favourites... but never went to see it as it was an auto....

I say you go up there and see it for yourself if your interested...! Youve got nothing to lose... but seeing it hasnt shifted yet... doesnt look promising!

as was said before i bought it off a local dealer called classy chassis they had previously sold the car a few years earlier and the guy traded it back in i bought it with a full mot a new exhaust and a new radiator it had a new set of michelin tyres on it cause the guy worked for them. it was a tidy car not mint but honest no sign of any accidents original wings on the front a full service history some mots and receipts. i just bought it and drove it for a bit until i found what i was after (an ac schnitzer m3 at the time) i had a really good valeter on the car who transformed the interior and brought the paintwork and engine up really well. i sold it to a couple from dudley and it was to be her car it didn't have all the m badges and seat pins then either. hope this helps

Not really simon, i was just trying to bring out both sides of the story, so wigsworld could make the best decision.

Cheers guys, it is very suspicious it's been for sale for so long must be something wrong with it. Motorsports usually sell really quickly.

I live around the corner, been to see it.... not really worth the money they want for it, i love them in this colour combo, but the lotus white interior is mullered, connollising will only kind of sort it out for the short term... will need an expensive retrim to put right.... Also the paint is tired in places I recollect... I suppose its alright for the age, but by factoring in the cost to put it all right, its easy to see why its still for sale.

So it's not too bad then, you can see from the pics that the leather isn't perfect, if it was a couple of grand cheaper it might be worth it.

I went to view the car about 3 months ago. It looks really good in the photos but I was sooooo disapointed. The leather interior looks like its been covered in that "white" stuff my mum used to apply to my trainers with when I was four years old. Not worth the money they are asking for in my opinion. The paint work doesn't look all that either. I got a tidy Macua Blue H plater with 100k for half what they are asking...

I have seen an identical calipso red motorsport floating around Amersham (where I work) driven by some 'Old Dear'. I managed to follow her til she stopped at a Tesco local and gave her my number incase she wanted to sell it. She said she would call but i'm still waiting. It was immaculate....

If only there were a few more 'old dears' floating about in rare desireable E30's waiting to be snapped up!

He wanted £7999 for this car in May this year!!

I have a smiliar one for sale if anyone is interested, lot nicer than the one mentioned, promise.

Drop me a pm.
