I know its advertised elsewhere and has been talked about on the forum but here it is again.Perhaps the price will be more realistic now?

Better pics and no reserve? should do well, not a fan of the alloys or the interior "extras" but a nice car and a lovely colour.

you dont want them seats, the're 8v shape and no where near as good as proper valver seats. The car does look good. If i had the space (and wasn't about to move) i'd be tempted!

they were an optional extra, "Morrettes", rare as rocking horse shit now.
I had a set, didn't like them and lent them to my mate, who had an incident and black ice a few years back, lost the car and the lights..

This is true.
My valver has the leather, and yeah, it looks cool, but it's hot in the summer, cold in the winter and you slide off the damn things when giving it beans round corners..

Oddly enough I put proper valver seats in the TD, they really are very special seats indeed!

In fact the second thing I did to my 14 after changing the gearknob! Was bought off ebay and collected from a day after passing my driving test

I had a set of leather seats and can confirm they look the bollocks, but are no competition to the real 16v seats. Fitted, and promptly 'de-fitted' to my white 16v. Would probably be nice in a high-spec 'slow' BX though

I reckon he's either bottled it, or had a decent offer outside of ebay. Shame really, usually get quite a flurry of activity right at the end.

Quite so, I am surprised it was for sale this soon after christmas, the seller would have being better to wait a few months IMHO, unless they were desperate for the cash.

It will be interesting to see if and where it makes an appearance next

Out of interest, I contacted the buyer, and he wont sell for less than £1,400.

In which case I think he may be holding onto it for a little longer
