Very nice and I love the colour too! I was after the same shade(what colour is this?) or the Laguna Green I have now; found the green one first! :D

You're selling her, EKO? That's a shame........:(

What price if you don't mind be asking and how many miles has she done? Just curious.......

Very nice Tony, One thing that does strike me with all of your cars is the attention to detail. They always look so clean and tidy. Obviously modified but in no way council.

Shame it has to go. :(

Max,JJB council?Why :o:

GreenTouring....It is Mauritious blue,is a lovely colour ill admit!
Price?Well not 1005 finalised yet but it will be around £900.Mileage is 120k and for an M40 is extremely quiet1

Dave,thanks for the compliment mate,I do try although I do sometimes get it wrong :P
Never intended to keep it when I bought it.Not shy to admit I much prefer the 2 door look but each to there own I say.Trying to replace this Touring with a really nice and tidy Black iS,now that may tempt me to `come back` but all depends what engine finds its way under the bonnet winkeye

Alex,it is very tidy indeed with only a spot of rust bubbling just started on the tailgate and a blister on the sill,nothing really.
Bit of lacquer flake on the bonnet and few minor scratches,sweet apart from that though :D

Well after seeing the pics above plus a few more detailed ones the prospective owner phoned me last night and asked can he come and collect this weekend.
MOT booked for Friday afternoon so hopeful of a first time pass :D
It will be staying on the zone though winkeye

Cheers Josh.Technically it did fail on the headlight alignment but sorted it there and then so not a problem.Advisory on both front tyres too,worn on inner edge so ill mention this to the guy when he comes to buy.Will be going for tracking in the m orning though!

No tears on it going though,currently got my feelers out for a nice 2 dr winkeye

or even better a 4 pot turbo
i wish id originally got myself a touring in that blue or the mettalic green instead of my boring white touring.
would look excellent with a tech2 kit, black spoked alpina reps and cosworth logos along the sills winkeye
my white one was all that was readily available at the time though :roll:
