Anyone in the Brum area (of course I know there are lots of you), willing and able to view this VIS that's come up for sale.

Looks tidy and top dollar, but a 0 feedback seller flashes warning signs. Also, no sign of the late VIS big bolster leather seats.

That looks really nice, and from the picture it looks like its got cloth interior so the bolsters will be slightly bigger.

Yes it is cloth interior.

It probably isn't as bad as I made out to be fair, but I was looking for a decent example for that kind of price. This sadly isn't worth that much money though.

Thanks for the heads up Adam, I'll call him later and see if any of those issues have been addressed. Sadly, for a £1500 VIS I wouldn't expect much of a snagging list, and belts/brakes are not a good sign.

None of those issues will have been addressed, guaranteed.

He is a small time dealer selling cars from home, but I don't think he knows much about cars, let alone a coupe. He was driving about in it himself while it was for sale to save money.

And not that this makes the slightest bit of difference to the car but...I thought he was a complete idiot. I went to look at the car with my wife and little girl. While we were looking around it, my daughter was just toddling up to the pavement behind the car and he started the engine and proceeded to rev the nuts off it just as my daughter was next to the exhaust. I shouted at him and he just grinned inanely. I'd already made my mind up at that point, so needless to say I left.

That does indeed make a difference, I think if you are looking to buy a car to use yourself, then the person who has owned it previously is very important to me. If they are an idiot like that, then the car will no doubt reflect that. I'm quite a placid fellow, but if someone did that with my daughter, I'd have been tempted to chin him!

Thanks again Adam Saved me a wasted trip!
