    car looks good but please.......remove that fluorescent vest off the passenger seat.

    why do people do this with their flo clothing? whack it in the boot or on the backseat.

    is this the new equivalent of a "salemans jacket on a hanger" trend or do they think others might think its old bill off duty (not in this car granted)?

    assuming the photos arent 10 years old then its in great nick on the outside for an L reg.

    Hello guys, sorry, wasn't expecting such a response.
    Mileage-wise the car is on about 81700, this will go up as long as the weathers decent. The mot expires August 30th 2014, have done literally 250 miles since it had a fresh 12 months though so shouldn't be a problem.
    When I took ownership of the car it had been stood up for some years and was looking fairly sorry for itself, since my owning it it has had a new windscreen fitted, new clutch, complete and utter replacement of most of the braking system, (new discs, pads and calipers on 4 corners, along with a couple of hoses.) Along with other general serviceable items, it has had a fan switch and thermostat fitted and that's about it.
    The car appears to be fairly standard, there's a k&n cone under the bonnet alongside a baileys dump valve, a very basic manual boost controller thing in the cabin, the pillar gauge pod has a boost gauge fitted in to it and one spare pod. The aftermarket alloys are tsw's iirc, fairly old school wheels, (must be ten years old at least). Appears to be lowered on shocks and springs, as mentioned above, looks to be about 40mm. Having not been under the car myself I couldn't comment on what the exhaust consists of. I think its cat-back at least but would assume that any new owner would change this anyway.
    The interior is in very good condition, and very untouched with a set of arbarth (I know ...) mats.
    The paint is probably the worst part of this car, definitely needs a good polish, that would improve it tenfold no doubt, there is one small scar above the drivers side rear window but its been there years and isn't rusting or particularly noticeable.
    The car runs beautifully, its an absolutely hilarious thing to drive and pulls very strong through all gears.
    Ill throw up a few more pictures for you to see

    It's registered as a gt, but only 98bhp?!?

    A bit odd, possibly a typo?
