    Looks very tidy, but very strong money for a car with no mot?!

      A tidy car will sail thru an MOT... though tis odd the owner didnt bother to do that for an easier sale... maybe insurance had lapsed or something.

        Oh yeah I agree it will sale through, but for the sake of 50 quid it makes it a lot easier to sell with 12 months on it! (Probably sell for more too)

          From what I understand, no insurance and road tax has lapsed too. It's been sat around for 18 months apparently, so hopefully that won't throw any issues up.

          Lovely car by the sounds of it, but you never know until you collect it.

            Could get insurance cover for the day, no tax is fine as youre going to a prebooked mot which you obviously need to tax it.

            Anyway, its a damn nice looking car

              Well done! I wanted that car, been watching it since it went on E Bay, it went out of my price range so didnt bid, (not sold my TT yet) looking at a 3B this weekend. Have fun and look after it.

                Only buy an ABY.

                    There are various subtle and not so sutble differences between a 3B and an ABY but IMHO, ABY always, but don't want to start anything on the forum, just my opionion based on what I've learnt and read on here.

                    Others may or may not express an opinion.

                    ABYs are newer / not as old and while a little dearer are worth the extra expense.

                    This issue has come up a good few times before, so have a search around and decide for yourself.

                    Kind regards.

                      The link not working on my phone, but sounds like Crawford_s2's old coupe from this very forum no?

                          Have you owned a 3B? They are not that bad.

                            less to go wrong on a 3b, better ratio's on the box, lighter car, and generally better upgrades like opening rear windows and glass sunroofs etc.

                              Congratulations on buying my old car

                              Drop me an email - phil@buscevents.com if you have any questions. When I sold her, I had put 12k on the clock (87 - 99k) and that was in Sept 2008.

                              S2 Central.net was the man who did the ECU chip, I bought the black porker front calipers from Goodwood FOS (Carerra 2 being broken for a race car) in July 2007 and I got the Wheels from someone in Leicester. I can tell you where all the rust is too

                              Phil
                              ...ever since I floored you I knew that I loved you!
