Default Mint Classic For Sale

The time has come to sell my baby, the spec is as follows-

Uk spec (European imported from new) Turbo 2000
W-Reg, registered in 2000
Low Mileage, just 38,000 miles!!
Full service history
3 owners in total (V5 shows 4 but first was dealer)
Just a few sensible modifications-

Kenwood head unit with 10 disc changer
Clear side repeaters and front indicators
Backbox from a P1, stainless steel and embossed with "STI"
Blitz air filter
Bailey dump valve (can be easily removed if you dont want to be a chav!!)

The car has been very well looked after, I have mainly used it for weekends etc, as did the last owner, hence the low mileage. I have had the luxury of using my girlfriends car to get to work but now its cold she wont let me have it. My trip to work is about 50 miles a day and I dont like putting miles on the Subaru so this is the main reason for the sale.

It gets washed nearly every time I use it, or at least 3 times a week.

It is fitted with a full closure CAT1 alarm from a very well known company and has a Tracker.

It is in excellant condition. The interior has no blemishes or marks and looks like new. The paintwork and bodywork are in excellant condition. It has the usual few marks on the front of the bonnet and a very small "trolley dink" in the front driver-side wing (about the size of a match head) which could be easily knocked out.

The wheels are in very good condition and are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza's which are the brand Subaru fitted to the car originally. I have not measured the exact tread depth but they must be around the 6mm mark. They were only put on in May at a cost of £500 and have only covered about 5000 miles.

I have never thrashed the car about and it has never been near a track to my knowledge. It is properly warmed up and cooled down before and after use.

I am looking for offers around £8500 but am open to sensible suggestions. I am in no real hurry to sell, just want rid of it before next summer as I plan to get an Elise.

I am based in the North East (Hull)

Here are a few pics taken last week.










Thanks

The only mods are as above mate.

Blitz SUS LM Air Filter
Bailey VTA dump valve
P1 stainless steel backbox
Clear lenses
Kenwood ICE

Wouldnt have thought the above makes much difference to the BHP, maybe a few extra brake??

As quoted its only done 38,000 miles (think its about to tick over to 39,000)

Apart from that its totally standard. Its in mint condition and has full Subaru service history and loads of paperwork.

Its taxed till April and MOT till June. I am going to send it for an oil change next week as I like to change the oil every few months.

Cant think of anything else to tell you. Once again I am going to be away from the computer tomorrow as I am at work.

I will PM you my mobile number if you want?

Thanks

Simon

Yeah, I know what you mean. I remember the last Classic I owned, I lost £5000 in about 15 months!!!

Luckily im in no rush to sell and low mileage classics in this condition are getting hard to find!
