Default 28k mile tungsten grey R5 gt turbo
Bought this car over a month ago and just picked it up the other day! came from a friend of mine who has had the car since 2008 and done nothing with it! 28k miles from new and still on the original tyres from the factory! my mate had plans for the car but after a few years of annoying him i eventually ended up with the car! Bit of a shame really because a woman reversed into the passenger door and the rear arch took a knock as well but as my dad and brother are time served painters the bodywork isnt an issue for me at all plans are to fix the arch, fit a new door and just give it a good scrub lol. car is totally original apart from a stainless exhaust! it wouldnt surprise me if the window wipers arent original lol its just timewarp condition for its age! sorry about the pics but the car has a flat battery but when i get time il get a new battery and get more photos!
