NICE ONE! Spec and details story etc?? its the non turbo version. i think there was 2 non turbo ones, one with 146hp and one with 160hp. this one has 160 if the seller is correct. although i have the sneaking suspicion that its the 146 version becuase the 160 started in 1989. this is a 1988 car. unless my source of informations wrong... 50,000 on the clock too. few dings and scrapes but seems good. havent seen it in the tin yet though. just thought id bid low and see what happened. ill be picking it up next weekend some time and ill put some pictures up |

If the cars half right then thats a bargain, autotrader website is a pretty good gauge of prices as theres everything on there from cowboys selling old rammle with hidden faults at suspiciously low prices right up to well established honest independants asking top whack for stuff thats done no miles and been wrapped in cellophane all its life. How many miles just out of interest?

Theres only one version of the N/A EGI and its 147 hp as standard.
Yours is a series 4 EGI N/A (86-88) all of the series 5 cars in the UK (89-92) were Turbo only.
Enjoy it!

Good work, living the dream.. or is that.. living the momentary flights of fancy?? ;D Either way, top work, I find the Series4 strangely appealing, post-Crazy Octopus, I've not really considered them for myself before, despite friends being well and truely smitten by them. Be sure to take a myriad of pictures when it arrives and give us a performance update!  |

If the 50,000 is genuine and the car is free of major faults then I would say you`ve nicked it at £750!

yeah. to be honest I'm a bit sceptical about the mileage but the guy says it starts and runs fine and for 750 quid i can do a lot worse!
