Default Flint Grey 2wd Sapph. SOLD! Now replaced.

Ive only had the car a couple of weeks as some of you may know. Unfortunately due to a change in personal circumstances Im going to have to sell up and bank the money. Its pissed me off because its the nicest one Ive owned to date

Im not into fancy long winded adverts so Ill be short and sweet with it.....

Flint Grey
2wd
T34.63 (28-30psi)
403's
3 bar
Group A coil
7.5:1 Comp ratio
BD10's
Vernier pulleys
044 fuel pump
RadTec RS 500 cooler
Pro Alloy radiator and fans
Fully polybushed all round
Gaz fully adjustable coilovers
Brand new standard 4 pots in 2009
Tested till October
Taxed till end of August
Toad A100 Plus security
£1200 of shiny under bonnet goodies from AutoSpecialists
Red pipework
Very good leather interior
Underside looks like its had someone showing it some love. Painted gearbox, diff, fuel tank etc...

*Bad points about it...*
It has the usual 2wd piston slap when cold but quietens off when warmed up.
Rear arches are starting to bubble on the inner lip.
Nearside front arch has bubbling, presumably its had big wheels on in the past and they've caught.
The odd stonechip and scratch here and there, but it is 20 year old.

Probably loads Ive missed out as Im shit at doing ads for cars

Any questions just fire me a PM and Ill reply as soon as Im next online

£5695













Price dropped to sell at £5250 as Im buying a Hayabusa to kill myself on!!

07500060380 call anytime from Monday 11th

Sorry to those who have sent PM and I havent replied. Been busy all week.

Daz, I had a feeling it was your old car mate. If you werent so far away I could have popped down in the old girl so you could reminisce, lol. £38k is a hell of a lot to spend on an old taxi. Hows Evo life? Do you miss the 2wd fun?
