I phoned about the car yesterday, told me someone was going to take it for the original asking price of £995 also said they had had alot of attention and phone calls about it but would ring me back if it didn't sell.

So when I didn't get the call back I assumed it sold, pretty annoying really as I would have haggled and taken it regardless of its condition, however I've read on one of the Facebook pages it's got a heating issue amongst other things.

It's back up for sale at £1995 at the same garage I presume he's clicked on

I phoned a few weeks ago....it had a new engine/gearbox from car with 96k miles but shell had done more miles...hence difference....did look nice but I was after originality, so didn't bite.

Apologies for the bump.. I now own this - £900 with a slightly smoky Turbo

It's new owner (Local to me in the North East) couldn't leave the boost alone and the ageing TB2810 has had a hissy fit!

Has a pre-98 engine with apparent water temp sensor wiring issues

Can you shot me a link? The heaters are stuck on hot, but i can still control the speed setting!

Isn't that amazing, originally the seller wanted £995.00 and people were all over it like a rash so he withdrew the sale and relisted it at £1995.00

For £900.00 I think you did OK even with the issues and smoky turbo

Its suspiciously un-rusty..... especially for one of the later examples!

The online MOT info page listed an advisory for rust on floor pans so needs checking just in case they've been plastered over with sticky under seal.

Just checked the paperwork again....
Invoice for £1600 from that garage in Somerset.
Further invoice from a local garage for replacement brakepipes, new t/stat etc last week.
