NO LONGER WANTED: E85 3.0 Roadster Pre or Facelift

[Neens76]

Hello. Couple of posts in and now is as good a time as any to place a wanted ad. After a few years talking myself out of a weekend car; TT’s, MX5’s, Boxsters, I’ve decided that now is the time to bite the bullet and get a little gift to myself in the form of a 3litre straight six convertible.

So. 3.0 Roadster, Pre or Facelift.
Must be manual gearbox
Mileage: you lovely people advised to buy on condition 100 - 150k miles is fine if good evidence of maintenance, list of history and great condition - I’ll be doing minimal mileage.

Ideally:
Black, Dark Blue, Silver/Grey body colour
Not hugely bothered about cream interior, dark would be great.
Heated seats isn’t essential but I’ve been spoiled for years so…
I think that’s about it.

Budget is a bit tight. Under £5k ideally but maybe over for something right.
I’m using some inheritance from my mum to do something fun for me - not that she would’ve been fussed about me buying a 2 seater sports car :lol:

I’m based near Milton Keynes so Bucks and surrounding areas ideally.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
Paul.

Hi Paul firstly wise choice to go for a 3.0ltr,good investment & if well looked after you won't loose your inheritance. I am thinking of selling my 3.oltr with only 70.000 on the Clock.very well looked after.Here are some pictures of my Black Beauty.

Is that Northampton way?
Not bought anything of that value from eBay before.
Listing seems confused in being open to offers but fixed at the same time?
It’s a really good example without close inspection. Wheels are nice.

That’s a lovely example. Where are you based and why are you selling?
And you’ve seen my budget?

Ah, I see. So about 2hrs from me, which isn’t so bad I suppose. It’d be reassuring if he/she was user on here but gotta be worth contacting them via eBay.
Thanks.

My son-in-law met him at the gym when he rolled up in the black freeleeta he's borrowing from me.
So I've not seen the car personally, just heard about it.
He had it on Ebay before Xmas but no takers.
I think he's put it back up without realising he's quoted the old price in the text.
Happy to cast an eye over it for you if you like?
You could just message him via Ebay and ask for the current reg.

Did a bit of asking about.
The black one in Attleborough is now FM05 CSY

Hope that helps.

All sorted. My Thanks to Tominator for giving up his excellent E85.
I’m super chuffed to be it’s new custodian and I’ll be looking after it as best I can.

Wow…. Did he forget to take the baby out?

EDIT - this post is wasted now the superfluous photo has been removed from the post above

 

[Neens76]

Haha, I was wondering why someone’s response to my last post was a picture of a baby in a car seat, and then I noticed he was mine!!
