 Hi All I fancied a V8 and the wife got me this back in Feb this year, I was going to eventually take it apart but I fell in love with the old bus. However as I've now changed direction with my choice of engine for the Magnum I ought to sell this, plus the wife tells me I have too many cars. (you can never have too many surely?) 12 months MOT 6 Months Tax 2 Brand new front tyres, rears are about half worn. Brand new rear brake pads. Odo shows 140k but this is a mix of km's and miles. 17 inch Enkei wheels which have got to be worth a bit on their own. The car is 23yrs old and is not mint but it's not too bad either, only the rear bumper lets it down where the Cooper green paint has gone black oddly and there's a minor scuff on the N/S rear quarter too. It can be sorted for £50 incl. delivery if you want a bumper in the same colour off the bay of evil. You can see it in this pic.  Readers ride link here I'm not going to take any offers on this, sorry I think it's worth every penny. It's really comfy, it eats the motorway, it'll blast around the b roads in comfort on air ride and it'll still do 21mpg! Thanks for looking Nick 0 |

Hi mate have you got any more photos? If so can you email them to me at deanb_uk at hotmail.com
I've been after a cheap toy for a while and this looks good, I don't live that far from you either.

Firstly apologies for not having washed it prior to the photo's but the weather has been doing a good job of that instead. I'll start with the rear of the car as I'd forgotten the spoiler has had a lift of paint...     Now for the interior, it will be cleaned before I sell her on, you can see the seat bolster stitching coming undone.  The hands free kit widget is hanging down in this pic because I took the pic before I fixed it...  rear seats are in very good condition and easily take a child seat.  The front seats are electric memory and work perfectly, great if your wife is built like a hobbit and you aren't as you can set the height of the steering, position of the mirrors etc. The car also has a cat 1 alarm immobiliser. |

Well I was happily lurking on here, very happy with my own car but occasionally checking sale ads for fun, and now I want a soarer haha. Don't suppose you'd be interested in a swap for a '97 Prelude 2.2 VTI?  |

It WAS an S4 however so cost many times the cost of my GC8! Those Soarers are truly gorgeous to drive, I just wish they were a little lighter |
