Check out the cab at this dealership, he must have the price wrong:
http://www.peterwitteycars.co.uk/search.cfm

The sills have been painted white, as have the door handles, the front valance has been painted black, its got dodgy chrome arches - only on the front, an ///M badge on the boot and some chrome tail pipes welded onto the end of the exhaust.

And he wants nearly Ԛ£3500.

Might see if he wants to buy mine!

I like the way that the drivers door window has caught the hood at the top winkeye and the seller didn't notice

Cliffybabe should buy this one for the chrome

to be fair to the seller, the price isn't too far out if there is no rust - 81k and FSH, leather and 2 owners?
It wouldn't take much to put this cabbie back on the Path of Rightness

NO! Not Telford!! Chingford according to the dealer website.

Pity it ain't Telford I could have gone round and parked mine next to it, for the feelgood factor....
