RobD Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Picked this up yesterday after Russ and Martin left... It's done 59k, it has had a Cat D but it's been repaired well, needs a few bits doing to it to get it up to scratch but for £1800 I'm happy with it. Has all the luxury and the newer car feel that the Supra didn't have but it'll never be a Supra I'm happy to drive around in it until I can buy a Single though so I'm fairly happy with it right now! Filled the tank in Colchester, £63 got back to Cambridge and the needle hardly moved! Had the Air-Con on and was being shy with the faster pedal either so not all bad!

Ian R Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I got a Focus St170 when the Supra went its actually quite a fun car. But as said will never be a Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have a similar runaround. 1.8 zetec. It wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding but for a family hatchback it handles like it's on rails. Fantastic cars IMO that, in the twisties at least, will always put a wee grin on your face with very very little fear (unlike the Sup lol). The gearchange is excellent too. I would love to have a derv version so that it had a little more poke but I'm very happy with it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for below £200 and all in very good condition The bonnet and NSF wing I wasn't going to replace but for the price I couldn't resist Get that lot fitted and it will be tip top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
