It is with truly truly great regret that I am putting this up for sale. I genuinely shed a little tear about this because I don't want to sell but we might be moving and I need to thin my fleet out as there isn't much room at the new place. Its killing me to sell this so no daft offers as I will just ignore them!.

Well... what do you say about a car that you don't really want to sell.
Engine is a very very strong 3.0 12v V6 that sounds absolutely awesome makes around 160bhp and its suprisingly quick for how big the car is. Coupled to the super strong 5 speed box its a fantastic drive. Its on 188,000 miles but just been serviced, oil, plugs, filters timing set, cleaned throttlebody etc its a very healthy engine starts spot on every time and even returns reasonable fuel economy. The box is a bit noisy in first and second on harsh overun but not under normal driving been like this for years and never got any worse and never causes any problems. I believe datman may be able to get hold of one for you if you wish to replace but it would most likely last forever. The diff has been welded as I did use it at a couple of skid days so it does skip about when turning corners but does mean good grip and good skid times if you want to do that. If this isnt your thing again datman has a saloon axle and diff for sale that could be swapped in to put it back to open. Currently running an electric fan and 200sx turbo radiator as the original radiator was terribly terribly knackered. Also fitted new thermostat when I fitted electric fan.
The suspension consists of cut springs on the front and 2" lowering blocks with gaz adjustable gas shocks on the rear. Fronts use a "wet sleeve" design so can be emptied, coilover bodies welded on and refilled with fluid of your choice to stiffen front end up etc more if you wanted to.
Interior is a wash of brown velor and just general awesomeness its a great interior all in great condition for the mileage it has covered. Rear of centreconsole has been damaged but easily sourced from a banger racer as they get stripped out as you well know.
Exterior on the hole very solid. Sills very solid only requiring 2 small patches for last MOT floorpan solid with absolutely no rust. Body on the hole good along with good paintwork. There are some bits coming through on the tailgate and the drivers door is rotten at the bottom. Which again could be swapped with a banger racer for a solid door. But on the whole its a good car that polishes up very nice and looks awesome! Can you tell I'm going to miss it yet?
power steering, central locking, 5 electric windows, electric mirrors etc etc.
Good condition original saloon alloy wheels with new tyres on rear and good tyres on front.
Factory fitted VERY strong towbar and full twin electrics so great for towing!
So yeah I don't think there is much more to say really its a very rare car you really don't see many of them about anymore especially manuals. Would REALLY REALLY love for it to go to a loving home because it literally will make me cry to see it go to a banger racer. I even had a canvas made with my favourite picture of the car that hangs over my bed. To see it go to a loving owner would thrill me to bits and make me happy.
I'm looking for £1000ono but I am open to sensible offers I'm happy to haggle. don't do "whats your best price requests" they annoy the hell out of me send me your offer and I will say if I accept it or want more etc thats how it works.
07540765075 is my mobile number. Feel free to text me between 8am to 6pm as I cannot answer calls at work but after that calls are fine as are weekends. Viewing avaliable anytime after 6pm in the week (well lit driveway and will help you look at any parts you want) and of course weekends.

(ignore the rear wheel trims it is on all alloys now(same as fronts) and rear has been raised a bit(this is on 3" blocks it is now on 2"))

Ive always had banger racers bid me on it and always told them its never going to be for sale now i really don't have the choice i want to make sure it goes to a good home. I know people say this curse word all the time to sell cars but i really genuinely love this car.
