Anyone know this car?
- Thread starter Ant123456
- Start date
It's in Ashford - very easy to send to France.
Wrong lights, non-UK plaque number, questionable seats, iffy-positioned harnesses anchors, engine covers? dubious wheels, missing front tray?
Allegedly cat D.
Nicely presented in the advert though.
Will be worth a fortune in 10 years but not a great buy right now...

If you are intending to return it to original condition and hold onto it for a number of years then yes it may be worth it, seeing that the car does still have the engine covers and storage tray is a big plus point though does the engine cover have any holes cut in it for the harnesses? Selling the phase 2 spoiler and replacing with a phase 1 might recoup a little bit of money which you could spend on fitting original seats, you could then put the bucket seats on eBay and hopefully recoup a little more.
The wheels may take a while to find and could cost another £500-£1000 on top of the purchase price, but then again if you can find someone to buy the Kahn wheels (unlikely) yet again you can recoup a bit more of your expenditure.
Then it's just a case of replacing the rear lights, sorting out the rear badges, replacing the windscreen washer nozzles (they look to have been painted silver) and a steering wheel re-trim from what I can see in the pictures.
Cat 'D' examples still have a stigma attached to them but the general concensus seems to be that if repaired properly they can represent a bargain that in the future may yield a nice increase in price. Pictures of the repair work undertaken if the owner has them would go along way in reassuring future buyers.
One thing I would say though is that I don't trust the way those harnesses are fitted so if you do end up buying it I wouldn't drive it anywhere using them.
