Hi,

Does anyone know this car, what do people think of it.

It needs some work, to the exterior to bring it up to factory standard.

The things that are putting me off, is the wheels which can be changed, the lack of the 13 button OBC which can be added.


But just wanted peoples views on it.

Are you saying the interior is not original to this model?

back valance looks like it's got a fair buckle on it. Steering wheel tells me it's probably done more miles than are being advertised, but wheel may have come off another car. Interior doesn't look right with that carpet, it's too light.

These are things which are easy fixed, it's the rot you need to look at.

I was looking at the rear valance thinking the same.

I'm sure the tech 2 steering wheel wasn't standard at that age it should have the tech 1 wheel

as you say Colin the interior is wrong for a sport. but this could be easily changed its the dreaded rust I would be more interested in

I'Ve asked about the rear bumper, looking out of shape. He said it had tow-bar fitted, and that's what this is.

Thanks for the replies, think im going to keep looking until i can find more factory spec car.

I understand the rust issues, but I would prefer something more original in the first place
