Looks like a lovely base mate, nice mileage and spec is pretty spectacular too

Be interesting to see how it fairs compared to the grey one when you start pulling it apart hey?!

Haha the guy who I’m buying it off let me take the rear lights and all the boot plastics out to check it over. Also jacked the car up and had a good old look underneath and it was pretty damn clean.

Yeah to find one with that low miles nowadays is really tough. Thought mine was pretty good at 80k

Is there anything better than waking your neighbours up at half 10 with a recovery truck?

Just a local one man band based in MK he only charged me £140 to collect it which isn’t bad.

Got a couple of hours on this tonight. Cleaned the battery box out and swapped the battery module out. Cleaned the cables up and chucked a new battery in.
