Title: Is this car known?
Post by: sticka_v8_init on 12 April 2012, 12:25:32: Hiya fellas, just wondering if this car is known by anyone. Im sure its been up for sale a few times with no bites. Seems cheap to me. Any ideas why not selling (service history?) :-\

Post by: joshwyatt on 13 April 2012, 00:50:54: FX04 FAK was released from service with circa 40,000 to 50,000 miles ,perhaps less I believe. The force that operated the vehicle just switched over to an exclusive BMW fleet so the vehicle became surplus. FX registration means it was registered in Louth, Lincs...but I have a feeling the force in question was a little further north.
I'll do some digging, last time I saw this vehicle, it had the correct 16'' 'CD' alloys and correct twin outlet exhaust, someone has been playing with it.

Post by: MaxV6 on 13 April 2012, 00:58:24: ooohhhhh now i know that i ALMOST fancy it.... bizarrely just coz i have mates in Louth.... and it would freak the lad out if a big white ploddy looking thing comes down his dads driveway.

Post by: Del Boy on 13 April 2012, 08:52:23: Because its low miles doesn't instantly make it dodgy. It's obviously had a different exhaust put on the car, I'd buy it :y

Since Eternalcar don't do twin back boxes at the mo, mine's getting a single outlet on it. Could be the same reason...
