In good condition he would have got £700....

However, having clearly ponced about 1 night and discovering he is not as good a driver as he thought he was and somehow reversed into a solid object he now has a car worth b*gger all.

"New house forces sale" routine? Why is it parked in a yard with car transporters then...? Methinks someone is being economical with the truth...

Oh and the Mk2 Sri was a 1.8 8v single point injection as I recall.
The MK3 Sri was a 2.0 lump (in 8v & 16v versions)

Mk2 SRi 130 had the 2.0 SEH engine, the pistons were slightly different from normal 2.0 as well as the camshaft being slightly different profile and the head being reworked
this coupled with a remapped motronic ECU, and a free flowing exhaust boosted the BHP from 118 to 130.

Good ones these day will go for more than a grand, this one looks like he has backed it into the corner of a house, but in pre accident damage does look good.

i would bet that would need a pull to get that straight, as well as a back panel, bumper, spoiler trim and tailgate.

£200 would be a good price, another £500 in parts and a bit more in labour/pain would see that back on the road....

the seller is dreaming at £700 as it stands though
