Hey guys
I know I'm going to regret this more than any other car sale but the time has come to part ways with my 3.0si.
With the current climate and 5% deposit mortgages being available (I'm in London and this could mean me finally having a deposit for more than a broom cupboard) I'm looking to get some money together and hopefully buy my first house.
This was a forum car that I managed to pick up last year after trawling the site for months. My ownership has been a pleasure and the forum has been an invaluable resource for me, I only wish I would've detailed with you all the various things done to the car during my ownership.
Late '58' model with N52K engine (black engine cover)
Sapphire Black
115,000 miles
Full Service History & a folder of supporting maintenance
2x keys
Fresh MOT (until 26 Feb 2022)
2 advisories were front tyres which have subsequently been replaced.
Now has 4x Eagle F1 Asymmetrics:
2x fronts brand new - F1 Asymmetric 5's
2x rears 4mm - F1 Asymmetric 3's
Upgrades:
Front Mtec C-Hook grooved discs
Front EBC Yellow Stuff pads
Motul RBF 600 Brake fluid
Mtec Hubcentric wheel spacers - 12mm front & 15mm rear
Rear Meyle HD top mounts
Stance+ Ultra coilovers
DLV backbox modification
Centre resonator delete
3" oval exhaust tips
Sound generator mod - 1x foam bung removed and comes with the car should the sound not be to your taste
ZHP gear knob
Gloss black kidney grilles
Sounds great with the combination of DLV backbox modification and resonator delete as for me the DLV backbox didn't release enough of the potential. Pops and crackles from the exhaust on overrun sound amazing and not at all like the manufactured pops and bangs that seem to be on every new performance car.
Link to a youtube video I made today:

As I know the modifications done won't be to everyone's taste I have kept all the original parts should the new owner want to revert back to stock (minus the backbox as the DLV requires the backbox to be modifed). This includes discs and pads, front and rear suspension, resonator. Whether or not these will be easy or cost effective to reinstall is anyone's guess but better to have the parts than not I reckon.
Aux connection
Bi-xenon headlights
Sat-nav
Bluetooth phone preparation/ car phone
Storage pack / Cup Holders
Factory option tinted rear glass
Rear parking sensors
Headlight washers
Overall a very clean example that is a credit to the former owners (and me of course!).
Very few blemishes (a small area of lacquer peel where the rear bumper meets the rear light) and light kerbing to one wheel. I've tried to show these in the pictures.
Other than that the occasional knock from the rear springs which seems to be as a result of the way the Stance+ springs are designed. I've had them taken apart inspected and then reinstalled however the knock persists. I'd probably swap them out for originals or upgraded units if I were to keep the car. No damage to the springs or shocks and no known impact to performance but I'd rather be straight with any potential new owner.
Priced at £7,250 - open to reasonable offers
