Having I built it all the servicing, MOT’s and upgrades have been handled by the well respected Interpro race and rally prep in Bristol. (A huge file of receipts is available for anyone interested in looking through.)For the last 18 months I’ve just been too busy to really use the car as it deserves and last year covered just 900 miles in it.

XTR2Turbo Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice. Can't see that taking long to sell. Good value for a duratec car.
gumstabber Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks. Priced to sell! Lets see what happens.
Marto303 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice. Can't see that taking long to sell. Good value for a duratec car. hmm temptation everywhere I look temptation, got the makings of a good sprint car though, what do you think David?
mark.anson Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Very much a road car rather than a sprint car I would suggest. Would be too heavy to be competetive IMHO. If you want across car it good value for a duratec car and is a good buy for someone, but I'd it's a sprint car you want there are other cars out there more ' race ready'
gumstabber Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Sorry, I'm not doing a part exchange, lol! 1
gumstabber Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 Price reduced. I want this to sell so my fiancée is happier about our wedding!
stephenh Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I can't believe this hasn't sold yet at such a price! I'm speechless, and just as it looks like the weather is improving for driving fun cars on the road.
XTR2Turbo Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Bargain of the year. Just shows how depressed the market must be
alexander72 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Hammy, I'll get Steve Tee to buy your car, you can then have the Duratec above... simples.....
Hammy Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 sounds good to me, send him .......... I have had a sniff over the weekend - someone viewing from Germany (?) on Thursday, travelling over... Someone else called, but is now a bit peived because the German fella made an appointment to view, so he has first call. Get it gift wrapped I'll have it Saturday then
User0083 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Mine looked just like that one once! I'm surprised it's taken so long to sell. I paid that much for mine three years ago and I have a 1800 zetec silver top.
gumstabber Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Interestingly I have had an interested bloke from Germany too for a long time, but it is taking a long time and the import process is by no means a simple or sure affair over there apparently. A lot of the problems is due to their sricter emissions than ours. Once the car has been properly imported over there they are worth a small fortune too I'm told...anyone fancy a business opportunity? When the car went up for sale a month ago i had a flurry of interest straight away, all from Pistonheads, all of which came to naught :-( Seemed to just be people fishing and trying stupid prices.
