If you look at his other auctions hes got a
-2 front cloth seats which look like the original seats
-eaton supercharger you can mount to a m20 which looks like its been mounted to this car as its been painted calypso too

I would definitely say that interior has been removed from that calypso which is a shame IMO, as it now has a leather interior that doesn’t fully function(heated seats part)

I like the calypso a lot though mate, last one of mine was the same colour,

As for it being thrashed its impossible to know from pictures and the possibility it may have had that supercharger strapped to it,

The price for high’ish miles, messed bout with interior and its auto would seem abit high in my opinion,

sure more informed folks than me will be along shortly,

[askjeevesplease]

Its an Auto!!! It can't have been thrashed around as much as a manual would have been for sure. Go and view it and have a look at the owner and if he's the type to thrash the car around haggle alot or walk away.

Just because a guy sells a supercharger or whatever doesn't always mean they are 'racing drift type folk'.

Hope this helps babe. xx

the add reads 'its switchable auto so can be revved just like an manual'
plenty of op to give a good thrashing

[askjeevesplease]

Nah i have a switchable auto 2.5 and it only holds the revs a little more than when it's in E mode. As i said go and view it, pictures don't tell nothing.

This guy wants to budge only to 1500 worth it for a high mileage auto?
I only want it for its colour there are better cars out there for the money

I am pretty sure this was for sale in scotland within the last 12 months. If its the same car it may have rust issues as scottish cars can be very crusty.

If the charger was fitted to that car, I doubt it was fitted to the engine thats in the car now. The pic of the charger has been taken as the engine has been dropped from a car, its still on a subframe.

Would be worth a look to see how clean the shell is (rust, damage etc). There might be better cars, but if its the colour you want and the shell is good, could you buy another car and respray to calypso for 1500?

I hope your joking!

Some of te longest, smokiest burnouts I've ever seen have been from e30 autos

[verde]

Mmmm supercharger.

[Speedtouch]

Wonder if that's one of the kits Ant used to sell? Must sound glorious, a sweet six-pot with a supercharger.

I would be very wary of buying a car off somebody who thinks that interior combination is tasteful !
