Needs some bodywork repair but only 2,000 miles from new.

Or for the more discerning who want a rag top

:slaphead: :rcard: :scratchhead: Stop it Andrew!

Stop it Andrew!

Can't. I get bored very easily. The Scooby for £20k would be a good deal. Couldn't afford to run the Diva Aston.

Yeah go for it. It's hardly going to lose value in the week you'll have it.

I think you'll find I haven't bought a car since May. Prices are dropping, can't afford to keep changing anymore. I do like that scooby, though. House is going on the market this week, so anything will have to wait until we see what happens with that. I have moved house on average every three years too; so it's not just cars!

And yet the missus keeps tracking you down

Those pesky villagers with their burning torches and chants eh?

Fine by me. Someone has to pay the bills as I keep spunking my money on stupid cars and houses!

You forget I live in England, not Scotland!

Which Evo did you have?

 

[Pondrew]

Which Evo did you have

I had a 5 with a few very light mods. It was a grey import, as they didn't start selling 'officially' in the UK until the 6. I loved that car. The 4G63 engine was one of the best turbo 2 litres ever made IMHO.

I like the look of the Subaru, I bet it's a very capable motor

The four wheel drive systems on these type of cars are incredible. Electronically controlled centre diffs, the lot. As I said earlier I had an equivalent Evo 20 years ago. It was the only car I've driven that made me feel I could drive well.

 

[Argyll Andy]

It was the only car I've driven

There, fixed that for you :wink:

I’d like to know what the outstanding recall is before I bid on it and why it wasn’t dealt with when it was last serviced

The recall is easily sorted; any other information may be a bit harder to find. The reason why I don't like auctions is the risk factor. I like a bargain but risk averse.
The history shows it has been hardly driven; therefore I would expect it to have been in immaculate condition. But it's not, which is probably why it's being auctioned. Also a very strange car for the Bangers & Cash brigade to sell.

 

[Dav the wheel nut]

The point I was making was what sort of service history has it got I wonder

At that mileage it could easily be none! I could probably find out if I was serious.
