We’re going to be living overseas for a considerable time (leaving 22nd Sept) due to a last minute job opportunity, and unfortunately, I can’t justify keeping the car.

I absolutely adore it and am going to hate seeing it go. Such a brilliant car, very well looked after & a pleasure to drive every time you get in it.

Condition & Imperfections

• Paintwork: good overall, with some age-related marks (small bumper scuffs/touch-ups, lacquer peel on mirror, small rear bumper mark, minor ding on driver’s wing – easy PDR fix).
• Front bumper underside has typical scuffs.
• No rust anywhere – body, chassis, and underside in great condition (Lanoguard treated).
• Alloys in good condition (DIY refurbed previously; look fine but could be professionally redone)
• Front wishbone ball joints have slight play as noted on advisories. Causing no issues, but could be replaced soon
• Rubber splitters fitted front/rear/sides – easily removable if not to your taste.
• Comes with original grey front grilles (currently fitted with black ones).

Final Notes

She’s been driven, enjoyed, but very well looked after! Great condition overall, mechanically strong and drives like a dream. Puts a massive smile on your face every time you take it out!

Private plate will be removed & replaced with the original reg (EF06 XNJ)

So if you don't sell it in a week (which is highly unlikely TBH) and you are emigrating on the 22nd, what are you going to do with it.....give it away to WBAC, or set fire to it?

You also need 3 posts to be able to use private messaging.

I was planning on packing it in my suitcase and taking it with me…

All jokes aside, I will have to make alternative arrangements for it to be stored whilst I’m away. This is something I want to avoid though, as we don’t know how long we’ll be out the country (at least 7 months, but could be a year).

It’s unfortunate that I have such a short period of time to find a new owner, but I’m hoping it will be snapped up this week

ps. thanks for the heads up about private messages
