Title: I've just bought a new motor.
Post by: CaptainZok on 04 June 2007, 19:56:44
Just bought a V reg facelift elite 2.5 112k
Yes I know its nearly due a cambelt but after doing one I don't see that as a problem.

12 months MOT so the manifold gasket on mine ain't so urgent now.
The big question is do I sell mine as a project, or do the manifold and MOT then sell it with 12 months ticket?
Anybody give me any idea what a 98 S reg 2.5 reflection is gonna be worth as a project or running with 12 months ticket.

Nice looker there, the colour is unusual but looks the part.

Why do people have to take pictures like that, it gives me a sore neck looking at them!!

I saw that, and was tempted to trade in the 2.2 for an Elite.

Nice looking Elite, that one  :y
