**** PICTURES 56K WARNING ****

Mallard green LUX model with cloth interior, 77000 Miles

HPI Clear as far as I know (no proof of this)

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 Ł7500.

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.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone for looking

 

So whats happening simon ??? is the car sold or what because with that reply its tho the first person who made you a offer owns it ???

 

come on si tell em

 

spencer wants to know are you selling it with his gearbox thats in your car

 

Ok before stones are thrown at me...

Had a few people "say" they want it but no action taken
(I.E. they didnt arrange a visit , didnt offer cash or didnt say they definitely wanted it)

Ive had 3 people want to hand over cash without seeing it and 5 possibles
based on a viewing !

The first person is a "viewer" as he was the first to contact me for a
definite view with a 99% chance he would have it.

The car in my eyes is only sold once I have the cash in my hand !

I will honour the order in which any deffinite offer/viewing is made.

 

The gearbox is mine, I have bought it off spence

 

si i only told spence you had car up for sale and he then said about gearbox so up your bum. you must have done aquick deal then since i have spoken to him. if you must no your selling the car too cheap mate

 

fukking hell si, being thee only escort cossie i have driven, i can say that its a beast.

can i swap my wife for it?

she pissed me right off earlier

seriously tho, who ever buys it, gets a fookin bargain!

ill be sad to see it go, and its not even mine

 

space hoppers,
the gearbox deal was done long ago, as I have just refreshed spences memory and mine

Trouble is he was never sure if it was 2WD or 4x4 he wanted in his car

 

i have never been a hater si you no that if i think something i will say it thats all and dont you get all aggresive to me

 

i no wot you two are like at remembering something got no hope

 

sorry but i am still totay confused

So is the car sold or not as i am miles away and trying to sort coming down but just cant get a simple answer

I just cant get my head round what you mean

I understand yor looking after the first person who contacted you about the car , so are you waiting on them collecting or what ,,do i have to join a list or what because if thats the case i will just forget it .
I ahvent called or said anything until i could sort collection as i dont mess people about , but with your unshure replies i cant sort anything as i dont know whats happening

Paul

 

cheap car Simon.

 

Cheap!
