E85 3.0 Manual

Post by Challengemike » Wed Jul 05, 2023 5:12 pm

I'm looking for a low mileage 3.0 manual gearbox E85 roadster with good service history. Can be pre or post facelift. Spec must include electric and heated seats and the car must be in a tidy condition.
Cash waiting.
Thanks, Mike V.

I can have a first look if anyone’s interested but not local. I noticed that o/s wing looks a little misalligned

Could be the front bumper not aligned properly , looking head on it needs to move right but still a "cheap " Si .
I would always expect a spend of £500-£1k on one of these now , suspension looks dropped too , could be a set of aftermarket cheapies :(
Wheel offsets need at least 10mm all round too ( not helped by the drop ) + the wing badges in wrong place are tripping my ocd :cry:
Has to be worth a sniff for anyone looking right now with a tight budget

Curiosity got the better of me. It's a Cat D

Although the damage recorded is down the Near side. Not sure why the offside looks wonky.
The MOT history also recorded poor repair impacting tracking although that was some time ago now.

I have stopped adding the cost of mine so far, but this week was £2.2k to get the rear brakes / shields / handbrake sorted.

Significant bit of info missing from that ad … location of the car pics in a rather non pleasant looking estate doesn’t add to the warm and fuzzy feeling
