Yes, it's in the section of register for 'Probable Scrappers'
I picked it up a couple of years ago in Glasgow. (Hence the Scottish plate).
It was sold then as a resto project.

Just 3 or 4 miles from me so would be happy to take a look to see if it is worth a second look for a serious interested buyer

Looks nice, but I'd definitely want to re finish the wheels in silver or even have them diamond cut. Price is high, be interesting to see if it sells for that sort of price.

Couldnt agree more, i think with a car as clean as that then diamond cut back to oem would be the only way!!

Must be worth £5k easily, but 10k seems very strong, not many about these days never mind that nice though!

it needs properly detailing to get much above 5 or 6K. The paintwork needs mopping and a good polish, it looks very faded and dull and those wheels are horrible... they definitely need re-cutting.
He needs to invest in a bottle of red color magic or else book it in with Marc at Paragon and get it done properly.

First seen 2003 as a show car. Had 36,000 miles on at that time.
As said, wheels are a let-down.

I don't think I looked that close. But your right, second inspection shows a lot of marks on the paint, an easy job for a professional and not too expensive on a car that's valued at £10k?

Maybe I should remember I can comment more on others cars once mine has been sorted -haha-
