"Cylinder head rebuild" might just be the standard 80k+ HG failure - however, that together with the gearbox & clutch would make me stay away.

My normal thought would be don't go near it, flip side of that is as a 6 month low miler is it worth the risk for the ask..hmmmm..markeg wrote:"Cylinder head rebuild" might just be the standard 80k+ HG failure - however, that together with the gearbox & clutch would make me stay away.

Ooh, not keep on the grey roof either... but he's spent a fair bit on the body kit & wheels. Laughed at the plate though - is that Le Estate Cars, or Lee State Cars, or even Lees Tate CarsNumber5 wrote:There's always this 'bastard' one for half the money, if you just like the look ?...

I think this is probably a pre-prepared ex-showroom car, or specifically built for someone who wanted an Auto, with the Alpina looks. There seems to be too many of them around to be anything else, as it just doesnt stack up financially for anybody to go to those lengths privately on a car with a flimper interior spec.markeg wrote: Ooh, not keen on the grey roof either... but he's spent a fair bit on the body kit & wheels.

True enough Andy but why has it had all those problems? Not your normal cars life, smacks of a Friday afternoon car, they never seem to get straight.
