North Essex Newbie Looking For A T5r

Post 475128 by Gunscrossed on 2012-03-18 10:32:53

Hi Guys, I'm Pete from North Essex. Just sold my MX5 and would like to have a go at T5r ownership. Previously owned a 480ES and a 240DL Estate :D but always fancied a T5. Looks like I just missed out on a good one on the sales corner but if anyone knows of and more for sale please point me in the right direction. :beer: Cheers

[quote=Gunscrossed;475159]Hi Andy, just outside Clacton actually but work in Hornchurch.[/quote] Fair enought there are a couple of guys very near Clacton, Bigrotch and Merc85. Both very friendly guys who will help you out if you get into a sticky situation with the car mechanically I am sure :) So Clacton to Hornchurch that's some commute!

That's Andyracer's old 850R, I'd want to have a good inspection of that as I am sure it had a hard life while he owned it and as a result had to have a gearbox so chances are it won't have it's original M59 fitted...
