I don't know if resale is important to you, but I get the feeling that body/interior colour is one of the less popular choices

Do you know what the popular colours are? Considering I only kept my current car six months who knows how long I will keep the next ...

I'm not sure I'm immersed in the culture enough to know. I'm sure someone will...

I could be wrong about that one you linked to (which does look like a tidy one), but I'm sure it gets referred to as ladyboy blue, which doesn't feel like praise..

Colour aside, wondering if 9k seems a good price?

I have just been offered a lime green one on PH. Didn't even realise they came in lime green ... apparently the rarest colour!

If memory serves, I think only 7 were sold in the UK and only 4 or 5 of those are still on the road.

Don't yet have an indication of the price so let's see. I think he may be a member here, so if he is, hello!

Rare for a reason, having seen one in the flesh I didn't find the experience pleasant (IMHO).

I have a few photos, it looks great from certain angles, less so from others! I haven't seen it in the flesh though and it is a flight away. In all honesty the colour isn't too much of an issue for me and a little rarer or bolder colour is a plus in my book, not a negative.

£9200, 83k miles, '04 facelift. Excellent history and enthusiast owned. Only thing is the owner doesn't know if the geometry bolts are seized - though the last service was the end of last year by TGM, and he says there is no issue with the geometry. Other than some minor sill rust, it looks clean. He will put four new tyres on it. Very tempting, though it feels instinctively a lot of money for a thirteen year old car. Any thoughts on the price?
