half leather interior fitted from a 2 door car [not sure why] so the front seats tilt forwards [just incase you fancied being adventerous and not using the back doors]
panell filter







this car was mine before i sold it to her and only ever let me down once due to a wiring bodge by the previous owner. i ran this car on VEG oil for 4-5 months with absoutly no problems however my mum has only ever run it on diesel. in my ownership all the breakdiscs/pads were changed for new, also the fabled breaking boot lock on the bubbles has been replaced

the car passed its mot late last year needing only 2 CV boots which i fitted myself and then it passed with colours.

bad points
carpark dings/scrapes.
the car has had kids in the back so its a bit dirty but ill give it a proper clean out before it goes.
the dash has also been bodged by a previous owner where he has attempted to fit a boostguage with what looks like a sledge hammer, [pics available on request] [pics added]


this is a brilliant little car, there when ever you need it and guaranteed to start everytime, if it werent for the coupe i would have bought it back from her

please note if the asking price is met i will give you all my VEG oil kit, filters, tank etc to go with the car.

thats about as much as i can think of tbh. any questions dont hesitate to drop me a pm.
thanks for looking
Steve

Hi mate.

I only said about location so people can come to see the car. I certainly would not expect a seller to bring the car round once sold. Let alone to just see the car.

Your too kind!

BTW I might know someone that's interested. Or a couple in fact.

Any chance, if you want via PM, show me a picture of the sledgehammer?

Any reason why it would fail the next MOT? Does it need a cat fitted?

[NoobCannon]

hi mate. Diesels dont require a cat as they arent tested for emissions, only for smoke so just turn the tu1 down a little before the test and its fine. I will take a pic of the dash today after work as the car is at my parents. On the last mot there was no advisorys so no reason at all to fail but i will give it a proper look over for you/anyother interested partys this afternoon. Steve

If it helps, the car also had the timing belt and tensioners done two years ago, along with a new oil pump. True mileage should be about 122k by now, clocks were from a diesel ZR.

Seats are from a 3 door ZR as, well, they came up for sale very cheap just down the road from me, so it was a cheap way to get half leather! Its actually weirdly useful, as you can pop the passenger seat forward if carrying bulky things in the back.

Very dependable and nippy little car, if I had £600 laying around, I'd buy it back like a shot, as it's one of the cars I most regret selling, as it was great fun to drive, yet cost absolutely nothing to run. Don't suppose she's after an automatic 75?

Dash sledgehammerage was me!

Didn't realist how brittle the dash was when using a fine hacksaw, it just ripped it to bits. Had boost problems, so hashed the gauge in quickly, and sold the car before I had the chance to tidy up and make a permanent fitting for it.

[NoobCannon]

updated!. had the car up in the air today after work cant find a single problem with her... will make its next owner happy for a long time to come

[limpabit]

Hi Steve.

I'll get in touch with the 2 party's I think will be interested. See how much cash they have and get some insurance quotes.

Though them being youngsters (21), might be quite high for them.

[NoobCannon]

bump!

[limpabit]

It's group 7. The youngsters my end had no chance. Stupid quotes.

Good luck with the sale though bud.

[BrackenFox]

PM heading your way.

[stevedx]

[Squaddiemodo]
