High CO? Give it a twenty minute razz with the box in L or 3 and take it back for testing. It should pass.

This is way too good to break and with an MOT it should reach 4 figures if you still want to sell 👍

Cheers

EDIT: this car should not be used as a donor car - it’s way too good for that!

Think you might be overpricing it a bit there

Wouldn’t say Ł1000 is overpriced for this (with an MOT) at all 👍
Seen much worse go for much more 👍

If I had a few quid I’d snap this up in a heartbeat!

Cheers

Papasmurf, having done a double take on the pics, I'm the guy who spoke with you via email just before Christmas about the car (Phil Dewhurst). If it wasn't the famine season (Jan/Feb) for us working musicians, I'd have the car off you in a flash. If the cat is breaking down it's something I could fix relatively easily.

I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a buyer though, it's a beautiful car and I REALLY hope it gets bought by someone who will keep it on the road and not break it for spares, these cars are increasingly uncommon and need to be preserved.

I agree. I've always said the good ones can easily justify 4 figures. 960 mk2/90's are notoriously undervalued because there are so many just average ones out there and everyone assumes this is what all of them are worth. But this one looks very good - it's a R-reg so decent door cars, scrape-free bumpers and all that engine work already done. Just need to get to the bottom of that emissions problem.

Thanks for the compliments but I need to move the car on by months end, so to avoid the crusher perhaps someone would like to view and make me an offer. I am not in the position to store and break the car and want it to go to be appreciated.

Hi jonnyf90 and MrMagoo, can't yet reply to private posts as not enough posts, but I guess any offers between scrappage Ł200 and Ł500 welcome

What an awesome car! Between 200 and 500? So would 200 buy it?

Sorry, the pound symbol on my keyboard isn't working!
