markat Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi, Second attempt to advertise after a somewhat eventful weekend when I found out my car is actually a Cat D having accepted an offer and the buyer running a HPI check. I have owned the car for the last 2 years and it has been faultless and wanted for nothing. In order to be open and honest about the car I decided to get the car inspected last night (13.07.2020) by my mechanic and he has confirmed that structurally and mechanically the car is spot on and the chassis has never been repaired. The only reason he can think that it may be a Cat D is due to some very minor damage to underneath of the rear panel and the tank protector on the passenger side (see last photo below). At the time it would have required a complete body tub replacement as they are all one section and in doing so, the cost would have been worth more than the car's value. Someone got a bargain methinks when the damage isnt actually visible without getting underneath the car. He is happy for anyone interested in the car to contact him directly by phone to discuss - His name is Stuart of Rosehill Garage and Tuning Lab in Shebbear, Devon 01409 281285. He has driven the car and says it is spot on and it passed its MOT last week with no advisories. Therefore, in light of these developments, the car is being readvertised at £9,000 ONO (a £2k drop on my previous asking price) I can provide a walkaround video, startup, running, driving etc if needed. Below is an image of the damage and then the rest of the car which is in absolutely excellent condition. 2.0 Zetec on twin 40's, 148.1 at the wheels, MT75, LSD, Willwoods, TD Pro Race 1.2's R888Rs, race seats, Gaz Golds and LED headlights. Plugs, oil and filter, diff and transmission fluids replaced, rolling road tuned and carbs balanced all within the last 1600 miles. I can be contacted on 07711 373061 or by email at marktooth242@hotmail.com for the full spec and can provide any information from the comprehensive build file and documentation I received with the car 2 years ago along with all MOT's and original receipts for the kit from Westfield, build photos etc. Many thanks for looking.

Good luck with the sale! Thanks @Bagpuss. Wouldn't dream of trying to sell anything untoward to anyone. I didnt do a HPI check when I bought the car, neither did the previous owner who also thought it's a great car. Spoke to him last weekend he was as amazed as I was about it. Cheers, Mark.
