Not with 2K plus yours surely .... unless you'd have to sell the mk1 seperately ...

I know the feeling, looked at 180 facelift in yellow in brum the guy wants £2100 its not worth £500. I have looked at about 5 now and they are all dogs, where are all the nice ones? I would pay good money for a minter but they are all junk! Pre facelift cars have lower mileage and are in better condition but of course dont have that look. ( before anyone has a go i have a 180 pre face lift and its a good car)

Is that the yellow one with blue alcantara ? Well known to this site and well thought of before ... ?

Yes Dan thats the one, i just done a deal with him and got it for a fair price. I now have a lot of work to do on it to get it back to mint, I was gonna keep looking for a minter but it just dont exist (not for sale any way) so i collect her next weekend. Did somebody own her on here?

A few people have, I saw it when it was with Warren not even a year ago, it wasnt perfect but it certainly wasnt a dog...... Lovely motor.

And minters do exist, alot rare in mk2 form though. They are probably only left on this site :laugh:

Mine is pristine, but I had to keep looking for 6 months to find it.

yeh ive owned her and I did a lot of work to her. It wanted more but it was no dog.:p

I only sold it as I got an offer that I couldn't refuse. But I did sell it with a lot of spares, most new.

I know one of the buyers was a dealer and just stripped the extras and flipped her.

I f you want to know any thing then let me know.

as if that picture was taken yesterday! all the doors are dented, back end has been poorly repaired and engines a bit tappy. Maybe im being picky but when i have finished with it it will be mint again. if anybody has any info on the car or has owned it please feel free to comment.

That's a shame as I spent more time with a spanner or a hose pipe in my hand than I did driving it.

The engine was mint and I fitted a new inlet mani'.

When it left me the only dent was rear N/s door, below the crease. I think my neighbour did it but I could never prove it.

The car has had some paint in the past. The front splitter was just starting to have some peel and the rear ns bodykit was stone chipped again due to soft repaint.

I think its had five or more owners since I sold it eight months ago

I have pm'd you more.

I think the owner of the Green one maybe a member on here, I'm sure I saw it linked to on one of the forums the last time it was up for sale

I bought this for myself, but I too was offered what I couldn't refuse.

It still remains the best 180 I have ever driven and I've driven more than most. Engine, brakes, suspension all as sweet as when new. Only dent was exactly as warren suggested, the NSF door that had broke the paint.

So either it has went down hill rapidly since the start of the year, or your expectations are exceeding reality.
