Thanks for the heads up, I think if I was drawn to Sapphire black I’d Probably go and look at the other one that’s listed here at £5995. Many thanks though.

I think mine fills most of your criteria other than the m sport seats, but they could be changed.

Hi , thanks for the link,

I really can’t be bothered with trying source decent MSport seats for a half decent price and then trying to fit them

But thank you.

Thanks Sean, it’s a really nice and properly looked after example. There is a short build thread on the forum for the car.

I’ll be the 4th owner, the gent I’m buying it from bought it from the forum in Dec 2017 and devoted time and energy to some restorative work to the underneath, brake pipes and brake lines all renewed, rear subframe and underneath of boot floor all cleared of light surface corrosion and re rustproofed/sealed.

The 2nd owner had it 8 years and did quite a bit to it including the wheels, Bilstein Pro kit, ‘facelift’ front end etc. There’s a thread we’re he talks about the hard decision to sell.

It’s a lovely for a 15 year old car... and it will continue to be properly looked after

My Mrs is excited about this one 8)

Almost..... :wink:

It’s a very well looked after car and hides it’s years very well, really looking forward to Thursday.

I didn’t really push it on the test drive, but yes initial thoughts are that the B12 kit is a significant improvement over standard
