Mmmm. Pre facelift and no mention of history. I'd be wary. Still a damn lot of car though.

A set of decent tyres, a pair of MAF's, a new clutch fitted and a dealer inspection 2 would be getting on for half the cost of it!

All items that need doing regular!

As with most old perfomance cars, its not the purchase price, its the running costs!

I think that's money pit money! As said no mention of history, not that you'd do that many miles in 50k car and not service it??? Looked at a silverstone blue one myself but just couldn't take the leap.
You'd have to have big pockets and massive cohonez to take that on!!! If someone buys it and has a trouble free year I'd nosh myself off!

I found this one the other night and thought it was good value (Sent Simon13 the link and he said "stop f*cking about and just buy it!" 8O ).

A facelift car with lovely spec and reasonable miles. But again. no history mentioned. Who in their right mind buys one of these and loses the history????? Who in there right mind in the trade, thinks they are going to sell one with no history?????
