2004 3.0l Sterling Grey Manual - £4250
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2023 4:44 pm
Edit: Fol sale again now life has calmed down.
Will add more info & pics later and more than happy to have a proper chat and answer any questions.
After a couple of years and thousands in preventative and actual maintenance, it's time to move on 'Greta'
This is a forum car that originally belonged to Ronk, before he sold to his friend that I then bought it from. Ronk bought approved used from Dick Lovett (still on original plates) and I think I'm the fifth owner.
Key bits:
101k
108 wheels (in 7/10 condition)
Vredstein Ultrac Conti on all 4 corners
Sat nav
Carver DSP 10 speaker stereo
Cruise control
Power folding & photochromatic side mirrors
Photochromatic rear view mirror
Cup holders
Factory wind deflector & boot storage
PDC (one sensor a bit temperamental).
Heated leather & electric seats
Aftermarket Bluetooth (professional install)
Xenon headlights
Automatic headlights
Automatic wipers
ZHP weighted gearnob
Headlight washers
Original medical bag & toolkit
Storage pack
I'll say it's partial service history, but think that's a paperwork issue rather than missing services. Stamps in book, then a gap which is mostly covered by accompanying paperwork and then stamped again when I bought it.
In my time I've had:
Inspection II with plugs, filters etc.
Rocker gasket, oil filter housing gasket, sump gasket replacement.
Vanos rebuild with new seals etc.
Disa replacement
Cooling system refresh with new radiator & mahle expansion tank.
New front discs & pads (and new caliper).
New varta battery
New spring
2 extra aftermarket flicky keys - barely used.
Machine polish
All work has been done by BN Works Leeds, Cars Drighlington or ZED Shed Warrington.
Usually filled with non-supermarket fuel and washed by me, carefully!
There is an abundance of paperwork, bills, original brochures etc and even the factory build certification.
The bad bits, although that's not being fair, is the PDC sensor and there is a stone chip on bonnet and a pea-sized area of lacquer peel near it. That is a reason I had the machine polish, to stop it getting any worse before venturing on sorting - which I've never actually done as so minor. The bodywork is definitely a 9/10. One of the original keys needs a new battery as it's not opening remotely, but does still talk to the immobiliser.
Before I bought it the car spent its life in the south of France - this explains the gap in MOT history.
I have probably missed out a load of info, but happy to chat anything through or accommodate any inspections.
Location is Leeds and asking price is £4,250.
All pictures were taken in last 12 months, and happy to take any more on request, or video walk around etc.
Will add more info & pics later and more than happy to have a proper chat and answer any questions.
