I've moved your advert into the appropriate cars for sale section. I wish you the best of luck. Did you have a guide price in mind? The T5-R's are quite sought after, especially in manual form, but I fear that with no tax or MOT, it will struggle to realise it's true value...

What upgrades to make 300bhp?
What chip?
Mileage and service history?
Pictures and condition?
Has it failed the MOT? If so what did it fail on?
Is the suspension and brakes standard?

Hi thanks for intrest.
i bought the car just over six months ago.
when i bought the car i was told no service history was available beacuse the owner had lost it?
any way he told me that it had a performance chip and filter.
it certanly goes quicker than a stock t5r a friend of mine has a standard m3 and its slightly quicker .
so by this i would make it around 300bhp . the prevoius owner told me this too.
the condition is very good for it age only one bit of rust bubble on the boot by the number plate
i have not yet tried to mot it as i know it will fail on a few bits tyres and small bit and bobs. bulbs .
the one problem i have is the matrix has gone. because i have another project this one has had to wait and i really could do with the room.
before the mot ran out i was using the car everyday with no problems at all. If you leave email i will send pics
as i really dont think words do it justice.

matrix is a big issue.
can you pm me with what you will take for it please mate as id be interested in it as i have a spare 850 with all the bits.
problem is is you aint going to get a lot as it sounds like it needs a few hundred spent on it alread.
starters were talking 300 for 12month tax and mot and thats if it even pass's the mot.so 300 "thats with out even paying for it" pluss another few hundret to sort it out.
let me know what kind of money you have in mind threw pm please mate as im interested for the right price.
