Anyone able to translate how much its going for? These cars (Japanese imports and "FDH" plated ones) go for 3 grand on ebay!

Hxc · 28 Aug 2008 at 20:07

Currently at 615 quid.

Looks like that's the first time it's been outside! Mint.

*whistles*

That's awesome. Not many around in that condition anymore.

Whats the fuss about? 'Never been outside'? Yea right, it's clean but only becuase it isnt rusty and somebody has given it a wash and a hoover.

Or did it get that parking graze in the showroom

There weren't that many around in good condition when they just rolled off the assembly line

I don't think anyone said it hasn't been outside

42,380 miles is a lot to do in a showroom

It's in remarkably good condition though

It's a very, very, clean example of a car that is normally found in a much worse state.

Torch [P4] · 28 Aug 2008 at 22:17

26k miles as its in km

Howard · 28 Aug 2008 at 22:18

You're quite right. I guess 240mph is a little optimistic, too.

That's still £614 more than it's worth.

Seats look nice

Cuchulain · 28 Aug 2008 at 22:24

You can still see the remnants of the blue t-cut they used .....

Most cars out there will have been polished at some point in their lives I would guess. I'm struggling to see your point.

Miss my first post, these have gone for 3k on ebay.

And Howard, they are a 150mph car, not that i would like to try it!

I've been in one at 150 on the clock on a very bumpy A road and it certainly felt erm, lively.

Poo your pants did you?

Does look like it's in a damn good condition.

Been in a crappy 1.6GSi (wedge shape) at about 115mph (speedo) and that was scary! I'd have thought that one would be set up better though.
