Just saw my old (2nd)Broomer on Piston Heads, apart from the 1st section detailing the service history, the ad hasn't changed in 2 years when I sold it it's just been copied & pasted lol.

I twisted my head & said to myself Wouldn't mind this one back

Very nice

A good price for the condition and history.

Go on Jamie

I saw that one and almost went to look at it at last weekend until something else popped up.
Seller seemed to be a decent guy and very helpful.

I thought I recognised those wheels from the meet in Nuneaton

Yes those AZEV's really suited that colour

MikeyG - you should have gone it was a near minter in 2007, looks like it's continued to be well looked after & maintained.

The chap did say it was in very good condition,i just preffered Sprint Blue at the end of the day!But i was very very tempted.

Sonic owned that one too. I looked into buying it while he had it but wasnt quick enough.

i emailed him for more pics and he didnt bother getting back too me

If anyone is interested in this, but is struggling to get more pics from the current seller I have LOADS of pics from 2 years ago, taken prior to me selling it.

Love those wheels.....anyone got any going spare?!

My old car too! Was a fantastic car, reliable too...except for the cam sensor going and costing me an arm and a leg.

Gary isnt the car you got now more standard than that one, how was it not quick enough? Tbh I just thought you wanted to have a ride in the car to see if you liked them.

I noticed he has said its got a new radiator... maybe when I sold it!

Yeah my car is completey standard. My post meant I wasnt quick enough in buying, not the car.

Insurance held me back on that one. By the time I arranged insurance I was happy with it'd sold.



I'm not a time waster.

You said 'It' not 'I'.

atleast you got a Coop in the end. Even though mine wasn't fast enough for you! haha

I wonder if it'll sell any time soon. Its been for sale for a while now.

Im very interested in this car,only thing holding me back are the mods , but if you think there not to much for the car jlow, i might go ahead, ive had 3 coupes before all totally standard, what do you think, also any chance of alook at the photos,cheers s jay

Its certainly not too modified, everything is done tastefully and its only got the equivalent of stage 1 mods, such as Gtech 1 chip, s/s exhaust etc. Nothing that should upset an insurance premium.

JLOW, would you mind posting the pics of your old yellow coupe,it could be the final push for me to part with the moola, cheers mate sjay

I know you didn't ask me, but these will be more recent photos because I owned the car just before the guy that's selling it now...
PS: It had two private plates on it whilst in my ownership (one of them is mine and one came with the car but I didn't like it)

I'm a bit OCD with my car's, so the Coop was sooo clean and properly maintained whilst in my ownership. some of those pictures I have shown are from my 'for sale advert a year ago)- Dont know how the guy treated it though he didn't know anything about car's so hopefully took it to a garage for servicing.
I will say though that the advert he is using is not exactly accurate- I made that advert and all that has changed on it is the mileage, I put the new parts on before I sold it so he has doubtfully put the exact same parts on all over again before resale! (eg: new radiator)

Thanks sonic,lordi those pics are so superb,you have put a tiny bit of doubt in my mind though,but i appreciate your help,do i spend on your old car spend the money on my own or look for one closer to home, decisions to be made.

It might be better if you PM me your email address & I'll email them, as I no longer have them on PhotoBucket.

But TBH you want to go & look really - as basically the ad has been 'copied & pasted'! from that ad, that was written between 1 & 4 years ago just updates from the work Munchkin, TwistyWizard, myself then Sonic So the things that state are 'new' some are clearly now far from it!.

I also caused some minor damage to the front Zender bumper, not too bad but did look very unsightly - any interested people should ask if that has been repaired.

Apart from that it was in fantastic nick & well worth a look

Also 'Coolant fully bled & changed' was my exact writing on my ad, done by myself - so if it hasn't been done since, that was over 2 years ago, I would say it has been though if it has been Forum owned

Even I'm getting tempted again after seing those pictures.

If it were closer

I repaired that Zender font bumper Jlow whilst it was in my possession (although not it was not a perfect job) :-)

Yep it had a full service before I sold it, before and after a trip to the Ring.

I really loved that car! go see it and buy it if its still good nick!

Agreed - the 1 of my previous 3 coupes that I regret selling/would have back I've had 2 Broomers & they were both superb condition.

The 4 year old Plus I brought for £9300 in 2003 can rot in hell that was

Thank you both for the help,but ive decided to hold on,after reading your posts,it all just feels a bit wrong,and Rotherham to devon is a long trip if you have doubts in your mind,something nearer home will turn up hopefully.Merry Christmas.
