Well collected the wee beastie now (Fin, can you sort a few pics please mate?)
It is a facelift 2000 V reg 3.0 Elite, although it is slightly different as it has the "sports pack" fitted (for now!)
The sports pack is MV6 suspension setup and MV6 leather seats.
It has 85,000 miles, full history (some comical bills there!) and 1 owner!
Full cambelt done in Feb (and to be redone in August as that is the only way I will trust it!)
Bodywork is superb, no rust (
)), couple of marks that will clean up thats all.
Reversing sensors (original fitment).
Engine is spot on and has clearly been very regularly serviced.
Wheels are proper Elite 17" wheels with virtually new Goodyear Egle F1's all round (£500 worth!)
Tax to end Jan 07
MOT July 07.
Niggles:
Air con needs a recharge (I hope it is a recharge!)
Glove box needs a new catch.
I need to refit the original Bose unit (came with the car, seems the cd is skipping... I know a man who can help!) and get rid if the Sony thing that is in now!...
Need to get PROPER Elite front seats fitted and a selfdipping rear view mirror.
Aside of that, it's perfect.... especially at the price I paid (and no I'm not saying!)
Opinions of it so far?
Have to say, drives, handles and rides better than the pre-facelift. Also is noticably quieter at speed.
I am very impressed!
Anyone want a pair of MV6 seats in dark grey leather?
