Thoughts please ladies and gents...

Post by ed » Tue Mar 31, 2009 6:23 pm

On this car for a friend of mine.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/943777.htm

Personally i dont like the seats but everything else ticks the right boxes i would say. Could do with a little more poke but that could be done further down the line. How much does an extra 20-30 bhp cost again?!

TIA cheers Ed :thumbsup

Just had a lot of work done at SLS, looks a nice car too, pretty tidy. Lots of new parts and as the ad says wants nothing... Worth a look surely??

Its an S1, its Azure blue, its low mileage, it has useful upgrades, it looks in excellent nick and it is sensibly priced.

Definitely worth a look.

The changeover was in 98 - my 98S had steel brakes from new.

50k miles and barely more than year "older" than mine (which continues to drive better than out of the factory), and I'd say it looks like quite a tempting proposition actually.
Pistonheads ad wrote:49,900 miles, 2 door, manual 5 speed. Azure blue with black hood. CD player. Just had major service ('C' service). Brand new S2 suspension upgrade just done, new brake discs, 4 new tyres (Toyo T1-R's) barely scrubbed in. B&C stainless steel exhaust. This car needs nothing done and is ready just in time for the summer!

Sensible minor upgrades, big important service just done, main thing to check will be number of owners and detailed history. Get in!
