I bought this car as a spares-cum-long-term-project, but now it's not needed. It's an H-reg, 2.3 8 valve, automatic, and was a Japanese import (in 2001). VIN checker says it was Australia spec. Insurance database and DVLA (V5) all agree that it's a 2.3-16!
It has MOT until Aug 21st 2009, but is currently SORNed and uninsured making selling it as a going concern tough and, frankly, I always thought it was worth more in parts when I bought it.
It has 143,798m on the clock (matches old MOTs), and it drove just fine for the journey from Loughborough to here (Woodbridge in Suffolk, IP12 4JP).
Main spec is below. Most significant items are:
* 16V 'Cosworth' alloys (five)
* full black leather (seats are great with no rips, door cards are lifting)
* electric seats for both driver and passenger
* AC
* AMG rear spoiler
I will get some photos taken ASAP. I don't mind taking off, boxing up and sending smaller bits by post, but for larger bits and stuff where my disassembly skills will be tested, feel free to come over with your socket set and I'll provide coffee and Jaffa Cakes while you do the hard work
