Yes - the suspension looks like it's too high at the front and if it's got TeamDynamics Prorace wheels on it .. i'd be wondering if it has been used for track / autocross.

For your budget i'd be looking for a tidy facelift car, there will be one around, it's just a question of finding it.

If that's a perfect car I hate to see one 90%, that drivers seat is (usefully out of focus) and fooked!

Thanks for that. I think that's half the battle. There really doesn't seem to be much around that's suitable at the moment. I will have to keep my eyes peeled on the for sale/wanted section.:thumbup:

Not one I've seen

Rareish colour

Look out for rust. Where is the rear plate?

It has an intake and exhaust... And the wheels.

MOT history ok, just a few minor fails. Check that rear bumper tho

It's got 215/40-17 tires up front which is way to small, so no wonder it looks weird.

Typical dealer doing cut and paste, their web site says it has 16in wheels?

All i'll say is that the cost of buying a cheap 'wrongun' will make one slightly more expensive that's right seem like incredibly good value.
