Pretty sure the owner is on here? If not the car for sale is very simialr to one shown in sombodys signature!

Looks a nice very example, but I'm not sure it's worth just quite as much as Ł10K? maybe closer to Ł8K. I'd say it'd be worth more if it was standard.

I might go and have a look at it.It does look clean.Im not keen on the air filter and dump valve.Would look better if they were standard.

8k max m8 but the history would want to match whats it meant to be, the engine bay needs to be returned to standard, not gone on changes that were made. nice car on the face of it all the same.

Seems a lot to me,what with everyone always going in about saph owners being unrealistic with their prices.
Looks clean but also like its stood a long time what with all the rusty bits under the bonnet.

Yes, the right saff will fetch silly money, I've had mental offers on mine "for a saff" but the spec and condition warrants big money.

ive said before and will say time and time again, a car is worth what i am willing to pay!

i would happily pay the asking price if the underside was un-welded and no rot patches forming

i love a nice crystal blue saff

just my 2p worth

p.s i sold 2 weeks ago on ebay a set of 4x 1000cc injectors for Ł420 after a frenzied bidding war in the last 30 seconds................. odd as they are only Ł56 each now lol

I was really impressed with it until I got to the pic of the engine bay, it lets the car down REALLY badly, and makes me suspicious of the mileage and history, it looks like it's been well looked after, but then you see under the boonet and it doesn't even look like the same car. I wouldn't pay 8 for it, but only becuase of all the shit that needs sorting in the engine bay.

When i brought my one it was standard even down to the original rotten exhaust lol

This one has a strut brace, swirl pot, 4x4 bonnet, s/s exhaust, air filter painted cam wheels and what ever else when u get there!!
It doesnt say anything about service history either!!!!

it's the swirl pot into the standard header tank that sort of put me off

if there was no engine bay shot i think it would probably be at the higher end of the scale, but with the under bonnet showing what it shows, i'm thinking you'd be lucky to get Ł6k

Looked last week but didn't comment,no way I'd pay near 8k for it,missing jacking cover,half an air box,painted red pulleys,interior looks clean apart from the collapsed drivers bolster foam but what other work or paint has it had other than the bonnet.might be hard to get a saph now especially this colour but imagine trying to resell that car in 6 months for what you paid for it!

The back bumper was all melted around where the exhaust comes out.The trim under the front bumper is all bent.

The nsr door has a few ripples in it.It is a clean car but just not worth the asking price.
