What with the demise, and imminent departure of the cabbie, and also the fact Rachel will soon be starting a nannying job that she'll need a car for, we bought this today.
As you can see it's a S70, T5 SE (I think) 1 owner from new ( who couldn't park very well) FSH, 116,000 miles runs like a dream, very clean inside, everything works :) only problem as you can see is the bumpers have been scraped on all corners, but most of the marks are paint transferred onto the bumper, so should clean up to a certain extent. We have no plans for modifying it, just clean it up, and maybe fit the Canistos to it, as they're 17" rather than the 16" Comets? that are on there.

Perfos. Not comets ;)

Spotted this for sale, an absolute bargain for the asking price tbh!
Like you say should clean up nicely :)

Ah right, well it'll definitely have Canistos once it needs new tyres, though that could be a while, as it has new tyres all rounds. :D

[QUOTE=stephenevans99;709143]lol....own medicine tastes sooooo sweet :)[/QUOTE]
But I haven't fitted any R bits to it, the only reason for fitting the R bumper is because the current one is damaged, it's not like I'm sticking R badges on it. ;)

I have one in the cabbie, but it's thinner than the standard wheel.

Yeah, the seats need some leather treatment just to keep them looking good.

Post 709193 by martybelfastt5 on 2014-05-05 20:02:53
few mods and fixes thats a great car! well done
Post 709215 by Biff on 2014-05-05 20:35:09
That is a right bargain Steve! Sorry to hear about the saffy & the cabby!
If I could find myself something like that for that money I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.
Good luck with it & a manual t5 with all the trimmings for £535. :)

The Saffy's fine mate, just the cabbie that's been written off.
As you can see it's a S70, T5 SE (I think) 1 owner from new ( who couldn't park very well) FSH, 116,000 miles runs like a dream, very clean inside, everything works :) only problem as you can see is the bumpers have been scraped on all corners, but most of the marks are paint transferred onto the bumper, so should clean up to a certain extent. We have no plans for modifying it, just clean it up, and maybe fit the Canistos to it, as they're 17" rather than the 16" Comets? that are on there.
