wtf is with the lower spoiler? looks strange.

thats not standard stereo? and shoulnt there be amplifier and not the tray?

how many miles was Aaron's moonstone? It was around that maybe 8k though.

£22k is quite expensive.

Doesn't look like there's a grill in the dash??? that alone would spark suspicion on a car with that recorded mileage and the price other than that it look pristine

Think the camera is to low to show the speaker grill.

Not exactly priced to sell, but potentially worth that to someone after a mega low miles example I guess

Spoiler doesnt suit it, but thats about the only think you can possibly critisise it appears, it really does look mint.

What would it cost to put 100% right though, under a grand easy, then what would you all pay for it then? Sure if it doesn't sell it'll probably go back in storage again, it's not like there's an abundance of 9k miler 3 doors, i know a guy who's sold 2 standard series 1's with around 40-50k miles for 10k each, so i think you'd easily get that price tag for the right buyer.

as has already been said, stupidly over priced, but i guess if someone with more money than sense wants it, it will sell. same with any car.

also has been said work needs to be done to turn it back to original, which i bet would mean painting the rear tailgate, which would absoluately fuck me off after paying that amount of money as then the paintwork isnt original, which on a car of that mileage and price tag HAS to be.

also power steering tank aint original either, could spot about another 5 things that arent either.

no denying it though, its bloody lovely, well looks in it in the pictures.

Mint car but ridiculously over priced.
Surely anyone with that money to spend on a 3 door is gonna buy a 500
That spoiler is terrible

Dont think anyone has said you could get a 500 with 9k on the clock for that money.
But if i'd the choice between a 22k mint 3 door or a 500 thats probably not in the same condition but a more desirable car. I know what i'd be having.
Tha 3dr is a stunning looking car but for that money it would have had to have been 100% totally standard and basically wrapped in cotton wool since new

I'm with you there Ryan you wouldn't want to spend a penny really after paying that amount.

The seats in it look in fantastic condition to be fair, the bolsters etc don,t even show any sigh of creases at all which to me would indicate correct milage, mine has only covered a GENUINE 33k but that has little creases on the side of the seat, but that,s me being totally anal....

Mine...just see the slight creasing....
