At last, managed to get a 3.0i
Well I managed to find one at last, bought it private, got fed up with traveling half way round the country to dealers to see one in "showroom condition" only to find it's a bag of nails.
It's fairly high mileage, 136,000 but that doesn't worry me, just one stamp missing from service booklet, paintwork in great condition for a 14 year old car, just a couple of very small areas to sort where the lacquer has peeled, hood's in fantastic condition, interior almost spotless, everything works and I got it for a good price.
Fantastic drive from Basingstoke where I picked it up back to Norwich.
It doesn't have the original radio, is that an issue? Does it mean I'm missing out on anything?

Correct, it's on a cat C but once again that doesn't bother me if it's been repaired to a high standard. The price I paid reflected it.paddy wright wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:30 pm Looks well- it’s had a new front end at some point in its life.

Lovely looking car OP.
I really like having a good drive home when picking up a car - gives you time to enjoy it!
I don't think you are missing much not having the original radio - they're pretty dated now.
