Selling this car cheap due to a few issues it has .....

THE REASON FOR THE SALE
I am selling my car because I am fed up of it after having it for nearly 9 years
now and have a new project to sink my teeth into and I wont spend any
more money on it. (New project is a Ford still)
The car isnt perfect as you will see below but would make an excellent project car for someone.
I could fix all the outstanding issues myself but I barely have time or the inclination
anymore for it and would rather let someone else have the pleasure.

I will list out whats on the car then later all its bad points.

The car drives lovely and is quick. (Bit laggy but thats a T4 for you!)
Has been used for both RS shows and track days - no bufty shit here !
Basically, I have neglected the car over the last year and have lost all
interest in it hence the low price.

Make me an offer over £7500.

If I dont sell it this week its going on Ebay, If that fails, I will be breaking it !
I will ONLY answer questions relating to this car on this thread.

Any questions, I prefer direct email ( simon@s8ecu.co.uk ) otherwise post
here and I will answer when I can as I dont use the place much now due
to popular demand.
