After reading paragraph after paragraph of spec list... I'd say £20k was an absolute bargain.

I'm no Mike Brewer, but I predict this will be sold within the hour.

What is spec of the car?
MOT?
Tax?
Miles?
Owners?
Reciepts?
HPI clear?
History and background?
Phone number/email address
20K is strong money for that car with no details, and your ad so far suggests you got it cheap being impounded and sold at auction, i'd remove all that crap.

do you honestly expect to sell a car for £20k with no information at all?

i think you really need to do research into your OWN car before trying to sell it to other.

its not the price that's the problem, its the information. These cars are a niche market & people know them & specs very well. People want to know what they are getting for the 20k.

Basic information you need

Engine spec: what block & spec?, standard internals? what head? is the head modified, what spec turbo? when was the engine last rebuilt and what was done on the rebuild.

Transmission: standard gearbox's & diffs? what clutch, how many miles or when was the box rebuilt?

Suspension: standard, uprated?

Bodywork? rust? rot, anything that needs doing?

I've only scratched the surface, this is just some of the information buyers of this type of car is going to want to know.

that would probably be best, i'm sure Steve would get fed up if he had 30 people phoning him up for the spec of a car he doesnt own!

get it in writing from him and then post it here
