Jeepers! I was after one of those for ages as an engine donor for my MG Mongtego, you did very well to get it for that money!
Looks a nice one, if you can sort out all the niggly little problems it will make you an excellent mile muncher. They don't excite me too much as a rule but as Qwery said, they're a very underrated car.

curse word, i paid 50 quid for mine! But it was the Vitesse 'sport' with 17" wheels, and a bit more power if I'm right? Was really quick, the engines are going for silly money now!

£20? That's good going with the scrap prices at the moment.
I hanker after one of these, a real 'Q' car.

*resists the c0ck p1ss partridge comments*
That is a mighty bargain for £20 quid. Do want one of these in turbo form one day. The facelift shape also looks a lot cooler than the older 8 series.

That looks split mint. Probably deserves an MOT rather than having its engined ripped out. What sort of tool would let that go for £20?
