    Default #216 Possibly for sale

    I simply don't get the time to use my pride & joy now, and with new projects on the horizon I am thinking of selling Solar Read SE#216. One of the first official facelifts this car polishes up beautifully. The interior is fabulous full black leather in exceptional condition. I wish I could use it more but family commitments simply mean I don't have the time now. Still has under 54K on it, and you will see a number of pics of it taken at the Longbridge rallies over the last three years on this forum. Hasn't seen rain for 3 years, only been wet when I wash it! A true waste really but there we go. I'm not in a rush to sell, but 7K would twist my arm. I am using the wheels it had in the photos on my ZTT Cdti, but there is a set of silver Apex's with it that need repainting and re-shod. However, absolutely nothing else needs doing to the car at all. For any details just ask - message me. Thanks

    Shame? No cruise control = minor inconvenience, no traction control = major bonus. Now, the fact that it's red is a different matter, but that's a personal taste thing (said the man with 2 red Alfas)

    Re posts - I'd agree cruise control is a nice to have, but definitely not traction control!

    I like it in red too.

    As for cruise and traction control,I'd rather be without them.

    Why would you rather be without cruise control??

    Its essential for modern motorway driving.

    It makes it even harder to swallow given the fact that these were the top of the range cars, costing in excess of £30,000 new, so the emission of cruise is pretty shocking.

    The traction control is obviously a waste of time, as it was rubbish!

    Rubbish!!!!!!
    I used to do 60k a year and never found the need to use it
    Using your right foot is much better
    Never needed it on the 350O mile euro tour last year and never missed not having it in the mg TF when I did a similar distance to Norway and back
