Outstanding looking motor.

Service book shows ~3k a year mileage.

It's a lot of money, but worth every penny IMHO.

All things are relative (as is true in Norfolk) ;) 

Mine was much cheaper to buy but it'll have cost nearly the same after 3 months of ownership just in overdue maintenance/repairs  :(

But one needs a lot more man hours than the other. Although where's the fun in just driving it, aye? :)

Hmmmm....according to the mileage history it had only done 24000 miles up to October 2013, meaning it's done 31000 in the last year. Remind me how often the cambelt needs doing because this one is 4 years old. No mention of current MOT, as far as I can see.

Still very nice.

Ad says: Cambelt kit replaced approx. 7,500 miles ago

No documentary proof of that in the ad though. It shows a cambelt change at 17000 miles, 4 years ago. I'm not trying to pick this apart, just being cautious.

From the look of the paperwork, MOT runs out on Nov 14th.

If someone goes to see it, the mot history can be verified buy using the dvla car check... it's totally free, but you need the v5 reference number to get the MOT history :y

Even without the v5 number, it will tell you when the tax and mot are due, and also if it has a VIC marker on it :y

Did someone not buy a similar red saloon from RB for nearly double that price recently? This one seem to be a bargain in comparision.

I wouldnt be surprised if it re-appaears on RB's website with a substantial markup soon.

LZ IIRC, but with RB you know you will get an answer if there is a problem.  This seller is unknown.

That said, I sent the advert to my Father who is seriously considering the car.  I'll be pissed if he buys it though, it is a belter.
