Iv'e owned this car just over 3yrs & originaly bought it to do some trackdays in as it was a cheap way of getting a 3dr & figured if i bent it on the track i could either break it or re shell it into a proper cosworth i.d. Anyway iv'e had my fun in it & done a few trackdays but i just don't use it enough on the road (don't get time with 2 small kids) & i don't really have the money to keep spending on trackdays at the moment

It was a genuine 3dr that was stolen when quite new, the stripped shell was recovered & then built back up but went on a Q plate & doesn't mention cosworth on the V5. It was 1st registered in 1989 by the lady who had it built & she kept it for 11 yrs, think i'm either the 3rd or 4th owner (need to check) its done 57k.

Engine was rebuilt Oct 04 @ 50k, its done 7k since rebuild.

Suspension

Gaz coilovers on the front
bilstein rear shocks & uprated standard ride height springs
Strut braces front & rear

Brakes

Front 330mm Compbrake kit,gold bells & brackets.
Rear 4x4 vented discs,drilled & grooved,4x4 calipers.

Front & brakes are only a few months old & front comes with 2 sets of pads, ones for track & road ones.

Wheels 7.5 x17 Wolfrace silverstone (same as hock's) 215/40/17 yoko parada's which all have about 6mm tread.

I also have a spare set of track wheels,hockenheim's 8x17 fitted with 235/40/17 rear toyo R888 & 205/40/17 front R888,awesome for the track & have everything to return car back to standard EG,T3,koni's Level 1 ecu with Amed chip , brakes front & rear & loads more, these do not come with the car but can be bought seperately.

Bodywork is generally good & straight apart from slight rust in the rear corners of both doors.
I had the inner wing welded a few months back & a small patch on one of the rear chassis legs plated.

Nothing needs doing to the car & it is very reliable, i haven't even had to change the plugs in 7k, runs like dream with no misfires.

I have receipts for 10k , nearly everthing has been renewed apart from the diff & box.

Interior is one of the best you'll find with a mint parcel shelf , seats & door cards, the dash top was mint but now has a crack about 1mm so probably one of the better dashes, its been garaged by me for the last 3 yrs overnight.

I'm sure iv'e missed loads of things probably because i'm only trying to sell it half heartedly

So if your looking for a good spec 3dr for the track for saph money this is it. £4995

 

Bargain

 

Worth every penny!!

 

cheap

 

you'll make your mind up one of theses days si.

Come on peeps this is a bargain. Worth every penny.

The pics dont do the car justice . It looks a lot better in the flesh.

Good luck si even though you know you dont want to really sell her.

 

wow love that, such a shame about the q plate but well worth the money you are asking

 

Does look a nice car, but how do you get a Q plate insured??????

Lee

 

awesome car at a v good price, for that money you could afford to get a trailer and tow it to the track aswell, Good luck with the sale matey!

 

That is one cheap car
Worth a lot more than that in bits alone!

 

that's a cheap 3dr

 

You going to sell it this time ?

Think thats cheap

Break it and i will have the brakes and the interior

Steve.

 

Worth every single penny imho

 

bargain........lot of car

 

I think i may have put this up too cheap by the amount of pm's iv'e had , i went to sell this last year but after i put it on the board i couldn't bring myself to sell it iv'e probably had about 40 odd cars in my time & had no probs letting them go, but again now iv'e got this for sale i'm thinking i'm finding it hard to sell it & move on to something more useable. WTF I know if i sell it i will be buying another Cossie within the next 12 months or so When i sold my 2wd saf & 4x4 saf i was glad to get rid of them, is it just me

 

So is she still for sale?

 

that is cheap and no its not just you - i have been saying im gonna sell mine for over a year but can never bring nyself to do it

 

See you wont do it, what you want Jap Crap for anyway

Steve.

 

You have pm back atcha...

I would disagree with it being toooo cheap more a case of at a price where it will sell and relativly quickly...

Could always put it up at 6.5k and get no interest?

 

It is a very mint car and i think Simon would get £6.5k all day long

The interior is one of the best i have seen.

Steve.

 

I'm not getting into a discussion on the value of the vehicle as everyone has their own opinions and thats mine.

Q plates make people run a mile all the time, everytime regardless of anything else about the vehicle.
