tourer popped up on ebay

Seems a nice and genuine car, from the look of it. I am presuming he isn't a member on here as in one of the questions he states that he doesn't know the difference between a standard car and an SE.
Also he says it is "quite rare".
22k, FSH and alcantara. I wonder what it will go for. There appears to be no reserve and no Buy-it-Now.
As for "hearse black"he calls it "special black".
It has had some sort of work done, having a facelifted front end and rear bumper, but a mark 1 tailgate, and was registered in October 2003 (so must be a mark 1 car). If I was buying, I'd want to know why.
Yes, good point Bruce and well spotted.
You would think that having owned it for 4 years he would have thought to mention that.
It's not a problem in itself, but hardly a thing you would forget.
That is no 25
It is The Mk1 Le Mans green car that was dressed as a MK2 and given a respray.
Should still be green or have Green bolts around door shuts under bonnet etc
Front bumper is red underneath
I looked at it in Hartwells with about 7.5K on the clock
At the time it had labels everywhere where so I asume it had regularly been pulled apart
from my notes
NSF Arch had some rust from paint damage
rear OS trime damaged
no load space cover
boot floor was green
nav comp was missing
CD changer was missing
bonnet would not open
engine would not start (flat battery)
various bits of trim loose
It was up for lots of money I think I scared them as they would not accept my "reasonable" offer "to take it as is" and then immeadiately sold it through the trade

Shows what I know....
I looked at a lot back then!
Most of the above was cosmetic and an easy fix.
Green painted bolts holding doors and wings on were a bit of a respray give away though!

Hmmm, verrrrry tempting despite what's been mentioned above. I don't suppose anyone is near and would mind viewing/inspecting it for me by any chance?
