Edo Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Folks, Pending a change in circumstances and a lot longer commute, as well as a lack of garage, I am considering something slightly "softer", at present, an Elise... To this end, please let me know if you are interested in the following car, which in the short time I have owned it, I have spent a great deal of money getting "right". The car is yellow, with black cycle wings and rear (detachable) arches. It is running a Vauxhall Red top, with twin weber 45's, tuned and "rolling roaded" by southern carbs in the summer at 190bhp. Gearbox is a Type 9 5 speed which was fully rebuilt in 2006. It has has a new LSD Cosworth Diff fitted in 2006 and adjustable shocks. In the last 6 months it has had the following; New SBD sump (due to road contractor, and paid for by them :-) ) New bonnet and nose due to cracking New front indicators/pods Full oil, filter, coolant spark change (20 miles ago) New speedo cable New side doors New roof (yet to be fitted) New sports exhaust New diff (Cosworth LSD) New Westfield logo on the back New windscreen pillars with incorporated mirrors Cycle wings and arches resprayed The car is fitted with a momo quick release steering wheel, coverdale breathable car cover, Westfield black newer style seats, RAC roll bar, 4 point harnesses. I have bought new black leather gaiters for gear and handbrake, but yet to fit them. The car has a carbon fibre (look?) fire extinguisher. The car comes with over 6 months MOT, and has just had 12 months tax put on it. The car has done under 7000 miles since build. Currently the car is on minilite 14 alloys with nearly new tyres. I plan/planned to change these back to 15's as per the avatar, but have yet to get round to it. The rear offset isnt quite right - the wheels are a bit lost in the rear arches, but nothing spacers wouldnt fix.. I am sure I have forgotten loads of stuff, but please ask away. Email edwowen (at) yahoo.co.uk I genuinley believe the car needs nothing doing and is a great specification, not to mention being in very good condition. I would be looking for £7999, which I feel is fair, but I am sure plenty of people will correct me! Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 My comments were an attempt to try and help sell the car. Great colour, looks good and I hope a buyer is found although if it was mine I would keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott beeland Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 For f**** sake Terry. If the man wants that kind of money for his car then who the hell are you to tell him it's too much; whatever the time of year is. Get a grip man. Do you TRY and p*** as many people off in a week as you can?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Scott I think you have lost the plot. I told him what I thought was a reasonable price. Personally I hope he gets £10k for it . As for p******** people off you can express your opinion but I dont have to agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
