Hi guys, having owned a Turbo nearly a decade ago now, I'm looking to return to the fold. After a low mileage clean car (tough to find I know!) ... With that in mind does anyone know the car in the advert below for sale in the bristol area. Any thoughts/info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

..get the reg or chassis number.

 

..then we can all do searches

Welcome Gaz, That looks like quite a find to be honest and reasonably priced with that mileage. But are you going to be satisfied with a standard car? Be aware that if the modding bug. It's or will cost you many, many thousands. If you are that way inclined I would advise you to buy one that's had everything done already and save yourself the financial head ache. Kind regards. Jon

Six speed gearbox?

Buy an SC'd NA

That looks like really great value if it's as good as claimed. Surprised Jonnyboy hasn't already jumped on it at that mileage. Its missing maybe 4 or 5 services but given the low mileage I can't see that as too much of an issue unless the missing ones are all over the last 4 or 5 years.

Thanks for the responses gents.

 

The dealer seems reluctant to give me the reg or chassis number unless I go and view the car, which is odd.  As I'm not quite in a position to buy at the minute (a month or two away yet) and it's a fair distance away I won't be going just yet. Assuming its been with them for a while as the price was reduced last week, perhaps its not as tidy as it appears to be.

 

If it's still available towards the end of April will have a look if not will have to see what else is out there.

Seems AutoStrada (the garage) is in Bristol. Maybe someone in that area might be able to pass by and take a quick look at it (and get the VIN / registration).

Seems dodgy that they won't give you the reg etc

Its silver.

It could be redeemed though Jon with a biscuit interior. ;-)

I think for the benefit of the forum and any newbies looking to buy, it would be interesting to have a quick view from someone that's seen it. If its not too much trouble though Dave. ::

That would be great, top man Dave!

I had a look around the car this morning,it was raining so i can't say to much about the paintwork.In general it looks very clean,as it should with that mileage.It has a bit of osmosis on the front edge of the clam both sides by the headlights.Also the osf corner below the headlight has been painted at some point,the colour is slightly off(but it is silver).

 

It's been fitted with samco boost hoses and a aftermarket exhaust,abs cut out switch under the bonnet.It's fitted with a hardtop and a soft top is in the boot.

 

The reg is WG05ONF

 

I do have a couple of pictures of the car,but can't seem to upload them.If you pm me your email address i will send them over.

 

 

[siztenboots]

insist they do the cambelt

[Wolfstone]

Nothing seems to come up for that exact reg through search using WG05 as a search term.

Big thanks to Dave for taking the time to check it out today, photos below..
