History:
The car was purchased by the original owner from a family friend who owned a Vauxhall garage. It was cosseted for about 30 months before finding a new home. It has been very well cared for with no expense spared throughout. Always warmed up thoroughly and allowed to cool at the end of a run. It has been mainly used for pleasure and commuting but has done several trackdays and 3 trips out to the Nurburgring.

The car is in extremely good condition for its age and Paintshield has minimised the number of stone chips. The bodywork has been repaired twice once on the nose and once on the rear clam. Both were done professionally to the highest standard.

In addition to the service history outlined above the Geo was done by Scared stiff and just recently checked by Thorney Motorsport, the brake discs were replaced (proper AP kit nearly £500 for the fronts alone), the poly belt and idler replaced, Cambelt replaced, new ignition module fitted, and it has Pagid RS29 front brake pads. The car has a Thorney Motorsport Stage 2 map which was updated 07/07. The steering had a small knock but was also repaired by Thorney Motorsport.

The car will go with a new(ish MOT) a full tank of fuel, a fresh valet and tax to May 08.

Any questions please email me.

im sure you know this but if u wanted a quicker sale remove the mods and sell them sperately or u will get loads of muppets asking if u would take 15k for it as it is... lovely looking motor by the way.

Ben, it would be a great shame to dismantle such a well sorted car but have to agree that you'd make *much* more...(assuming you have the original parts?)

Some guesstimates of what you could make on ebay

Yokohama AO 48’s Brand new (Less than 100 miles) = £450
Speedline VXR wheels (some marks) = £700
Nitron adjustable suspension = £800
AP big brake kit (braided lines 5.1 fluid) = £1000
Full one off Miltek exhaust (a little louder than normal Miltek) £800
£3750

How's the S2000 going?

[R1 nur]

How could I forget! No 1 mod.

Also fitted with ... VXR ABS MODULE!

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I did consider stripping the car - even the ABS module would be another £200 or so but I would prefer not to have to strip it and deal with 10 different adverts.

I am considering dropping my price every week until it goes.

Foxy - thanks for the moderation but I will let it run.

Thanks John. I am off to Canada again for the winter so I am trying to tidy up my affairs and clear the garage as much as possible

So the road S2000 will be going in a month or two.

The Race S2000 is still in bits!

Going to keep the R1 though.

KTM X-Bow will be my next serious toy.

If you do decide to split it, I'm interested in the Nitrons.

If you do decide to split I would be interested in the AP 4 pot Calipers (I already have upgraded discs) if you didn't have your single pots still, you could have mine.
