LOL. more worrying that it USED to be a police car, and more to the fact why were the police cruising in a 1.4 lol.

police had it kitted up like that so they could go undercover down the local Mcdonalds

I asked him what he reckoned the 0-60 was and if it handled, but he said "SOLD M8". Gutted

Maybe he was overwhelmed with the sudden interest.

I just looked in to it out of interest, the 1.4 16v has a standard bhp of 90, a remap gives it a massive 9bhp gain, which is probably highly exaggerated...I'd say 5 or 6.

but taking the exaggerated figure, 99bhp... proper weapon yo

NO SERVICE HISTORY AS PRIVEOUS OWNER DIDNT NO WHAT IT WAS LOL.

wtf?

Part of me wants to believe that no one would buy such an abomination and he's lying to you all that he's sold it because he's getting too many emails but judging by the amount of tat on the roads today I believe he probably sold it within 5 minutes
