Big Supes Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) http://pistonheads.com/sales/786954.htm Looks like I will be making a trip from Southampton to Northern Ireland to look at it... and hopefully bringing it back, if it's up to stratch. *crosses fingers* Just thought I'd check with you guys before I booked the tickets. Thanks in advance. Edited November 29, 2008 by Big Supes typo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 might be nothing but get him to send you pics of the other side of the car if your travelling all that way and ask the right questions before you go too it could just be the pics but the door line doesnt look quite right to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 might be nothing but get him to send you pics of the other side of the car if your travelling all that way and ask the right questions before you go too That's a good point... I hadn't realised that each picture only showed the driver side. Objectivity kinda goes out of the window when I want to just get in it and drive. :O it could just be the pics but the door line doesnt look quite right to me Is there anychance you could specify in which picture it catches your eye? http://images.pistonheads.com/aimg/786/786954-9.jpg In this picture the top alignment looks to be ok, but I haven't owned one of these for a long time so I would trust someone who sees it everyday.

Tom Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 it's in these 2 pics, it could just be the protector going down the door but it looks like a bigger gap than there should be get an engine bay pic too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ahh, I'm with you. Yeah, it's a bit tricky to see with the quality of the pics. Hopefully you're right about the protector. It certainly looks as if the protector could be to blame, but it's something to note. I text the guy today asking for more recent pictures with close ups of the interior, engine bay and the car in general. He said that once his girlfriend is back he'll get her to upload the pictures to his computer as he struggles to work his way around one. Seems like a genuine guy (for what that's worth) and he's confident that I won't be disappointed if I make the trip. Sometimes I think you've just got to take these chances.

tooquicktostop Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 long way to go for an NA Auto, I would spend a few more quid and have a look at the TT Auto on here for £3900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 yep, if it is all good and thats what your looking for it's not a bad price My thoughts exactly, Tom. long way to go for an NA Auto, I would spend a few more quid and have a look at the TT Auto on here for £3900 Yeah, it's definitely less than ideal to travel that far, but I intend to eventually convert this NA auto to a Aero 6sp TT. It's something I've wanted to do since, well... since I saw them in the U.S. This car (if it turns out to be ok) is perfect for the project.
