On behalf of a mate. Has a years mot on it and service as well. I think the mileage is closer to 70k.

Mileage: 67,000
Condition: Very good to excellent
Owners: 6 (myself since 2005)
MOT/Tax: Full MOT, tax due this month
Service History: Full up to 62k miles (every 4-5k)
Modifications: Not much, wheels/suspension only. Standard engine with Klinger HG. Colour coded rub strips.
Problems: Nothing major.
Price: ?1,750

Well after much deliberating and changing of mind (for literally years :lol: ) ive decided to let my beloved coupe go due to lack of use. It has just been MOT'd with no advisories and has done 450 miles since the last MOT, and under 500 in the previous year too. Overall i have done 13k miles since buying it in october 2005. I'm in no hurry to sell so wont give it away, i just want it to go to a good home so someone can enjoy it like i used to.

The car is very good condition all round as in the photos, the negatives being small scabs of rust in the corners of the wings and the usual bubbling on the rear spoiler. Last year i spent over ?500 getting rust on the rear arches cut out as the old body kit on the car was hiding some rot in the usual places (front of rear arches mainly). At the same tme i got the clutch replaced. Mechanicals are spot on, drives nicely and pulls very well. It hasnt given me any bother for 5 years and i'd rely on it to take me anywhere.

Few niggles - key fob doesnt open drivers door, and theres a small oil leak which hasnt got any worse since i bought it, it looks like its coming from the sump end of the turbo oil return so im hoping to fix it when i change the oil this week (got new gaskets). In any case its only a drip each time i use the car and the oil level doesnt noticeably drop over the course of a year between changes.

Loads of extras to go with it - original wheels and interior, jap rear plinth, decat pipe, nearly new jamex suspension kit etc.

Can get pics of interior (full black leather with red piping) and engine bay if anyone shows interest.

Car is located just outside Dundee, Scotland.

now that is sexy! would love one of these but just not practical for me

good luck with the sale, hopefully it will remain a coupe and not be broken for the engine. In all honesty I would have this anyday over a ZR with the same engine.

A thing of beauty.

if i had the money i rip your mate arm off that one clean coupe
it would be a crime to strip this for a zr/zs turbo conversion should stay a coupe as they are becoming rare and will slowly go up in valve over the next few years as more ppl strip them
