Yeah nice that :) Looks a comfy cabin and all in good nick ..
-
Forgiveness would have been easier than permission
-
Front end looks decidedly unhealthy :-\
Be surprised if it doesn't need a VIC... Anyone run the reg through the Dvla car checker?
-
Assuming you mean the "vehicle enquiry" one - all it shows is that the tax expired last month and the MOT expires next November..
-
Ok, if it has a VIC marker that shows there as well... Very poor unrecorded diy repair then or rotten bumper carrier :-\
-
Front end looks decidedly unhealthy :-\ ....
I hadn't noticed till you pointed it out ..... bumper/wing/head light washer panel lines are all over the place ..... could be nothing though :y

Did you read the comments from the fella who went to see it?

Second page diverted to some app sale site... Guessing the comments weren't positive :-\

Gixer? ??? Is that you? ::) ::) ::)

That is not the unhinged supercharged E55. It's just a lardy old V8 with barely 300 pit ponies at it's disposal.
Could be worth a punt at less than £2000 though. ;)

FFs its a 15 year old barge, if its not as good as he says it would break for more than you pay for it, but be fun first to hoon around in :y

Even Mr Emd could be tempted. :y

Well, the 'sealed for life' gearbox could fail; the front suspension could collapse due to rust; various electrical/ecu faults; the electronic key will probably stop working; plus all the usual cheap to buy/expensive to run problems that previous owners have avoided by selling the car.

It will fit. Everything is possible. But you need a few more tools.

I can see Lizzie Zoom tempted by this.
She is very much a 'money is no object' girl. ;D
