I'm sure it makes no odds to some but this car has been wearing one aero skirt and one standard skirt since 2010. I guess that could be regarded as a selling point these days given the price of them!

I’ve just managed to catch this one on the M4 south Wales. I wonder who is it is and what build number. In eight years its the first one I’ve just happened to see on the road

Looks like #305 to me.

That's #305

That's #305

I have #305 recorded as being on FJ05 JUT, yet the above doesn't look like a personal plate.
Is that a previous plate, or is my database incorrect ?

FJ05 JUT is the original reg of #305, it was moved over to LW05 ALW in March 2008

As for it being a personal plate, anything can be a personal plate if it means something to the owner - e.g. it could be a husband and wife with initials LW and ALW

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself as I just registered for the board.

Just wondering if anyone is looking at selling? My budget to spend on a RS is circa 15k. I could also possibly do a trade with my 07 E86 3.0si Msport in Alpine White, fully loaded with split rims heated seats, xenons, piano black dash and black leather, folding mirrors. Let me know if anyone would like to discuss.
I am located in Northampton.
Thanks Phil

Hi and welcome to the forum Phil.

If/when you are ready to sell your E86 you'd get a better response if you posted a classified advert - it won't cost you anything. And Alpine White is a really rare colour on E86s!

Hi and thanks. Yes I'm aware of the rarity of mine, only 16 E86 3.0si's I believe were sold in the UK. I think the spec of mine is perfect too. I wouldn't dream of selling her unless it was a deal for an Alpina Roadster with someone. (I really want to scratch that itch). Hence the message etc. Just wanted to put it out there in case anyone was interested and we could talk prices etc. Bit of a long shot I guess! :?

I guess not knowing that is one of the drawbacks of being a newbie!

Thanks

(I guess I will be able to read your private message now as well!).

Call me suspicious, but this ad got my spidey-senses tingling: old pics, surprisingly cheap, understated mileage ...

I also saw this when it appeared and thought that there is something suspicious about it. Just the way the description in the advert read didn’t seem quite right.
Maybe just me.

Can't see the advert when I click the link. Maybe it has been pulled. Is this the water damage car or something?

 

[MikeyH]

It was there earlier when I looked, perhaps the advertiser realised it was advertised too cheap. HRZ 40 is a Peugoet Boxer van :rofl: :rofl:

It was mentioned that they're old photos, #039 hasn't been wearing HRZ 40 since August 2016. Mileage was wrong too as #039 was on 57k at last MOT

The car is now back on the FNO4 HYG, and the mot stats since 2010 aren't great.

You threw me with FNO4 HYG..however I checked FN04 HYG

Actually I thought the MOT history for an older car was quite modest..

Seems the guy keeps turning up with the same shagged tired tyres every year… :tumbleweed:
