Nice one, glad you got one mate

I know you had a limited budget at first so did you pick up a bargain?

Looks like a great car you've got.

I've not checked MK1 FRS prices for a wee while, but a 45k miles, low owner car with full history... plus the mods you've done... all-in for 10k? Did you 'do a chop' and rob the guy you bought it off in the first place??


Cheers,
Grant

WOT,

hello mate.....did cossie's for 10 Years and wanted summit newer etc etc




Regarding the comparison between this and the Saff, it's nice to drive comfortable and much more modern and an excellent package out of the box...,



Regarding the price, I bought it needing a few jobs which I have done all cash deals on and the car was up for £9000 on Pistonheads
