The AP’s really let it down in their condition imho, they look so rusty and worn. Shame. Otherwise a nice car.

What's an AP? :scratchhead:

Currently on AT at £14500 but when i questioned the seller about a few points (namely the misted headlamps ) he revealed he had been told by 2 different garages that they were in need of replacement & therefore along with the wheel refurb required & some bodywork cosmetics he was about to accept £12k from a dealer on Thursday of this week :cry: my guess is we will see this within a month looking mint at £17500 :wink:

Probably right, and will have the same headlights also. Just need venting and new caps/seals.

MOT did pick up issues with the actual beam but most likely ballast problem ? New caps , dry out as you say then sort the cosmetics :wink: a £1k spend should see that car looking glorious once again (though the tips /boxes don't look right :cry: )

You mean you didn't buy it Mr T. :o
 
Not very well presented and drivers bolster looks shot but on that mileage with new discs and decent service history he’d be mad to get rid at £12k - tempted to have a look myself but couldn’t justify running 2 as much as I’d like to :driving:

Looks an absolute dog, no wonder he hasn’t put pics of the engine up. :o
One man's dog,is another man's dinner. Some one will turn that around for a few quid. :wink:

A diamond in the rough my friend :oops: the drivers bolster probably the hardest thing to sort , the way Bmw seats show wear compared with Mercedes , Audi , VW , Porsche is pretty poor imo :cry: & i'm meaning right up to current models not 56 platers

Those alloys need a refurb also.

But that’s not a problem for you Mr Wilks :rofl:

I sense you’re considering to purchase :P
 
wow, cant understand how someone selling a car for over ten grand couldnt run it through the £5 swirl-o-matic when trying to sell it!!
