Any interest in my car
full spec is in my profile along with some photos.
Owned the car for 18months now and Have loved every minute of it, sadly needs must and im moving on for now.
I've looked after the car, no expense spared. warmed up and cooled down.
I'm an aircraft mechanic so have done servicing myself mostly since i have had it, but before that (68000) it had full service history.
Car has just had new fluids(engine,gearbox,diff,brake and coolent),filters(all) and plugs(7b's)
car is on 90000 now. always used fully synthetic oil since ive had it and changed every 3-4k
new rear discs and front brakes
car has a cat 1 alarm with tracker
tyres around 1/3 worn all round
most of the spec is in my profile so if any one wants anymore info on the spec just pm/post
car will have 12 months mot and 6 months tax(can arrange to put 12 on)
Bad bits: front bumper has few stone chips and bootlid has had a bad spray job recently(i will correct this if i get interest, reason it isnt corrected already is because its my daily driver)
I will also throw in paint to spray bumper so you just need to pay labour.
I know the market is dead but this is alot of car for money
£6200 ono

I keep finding myself coming back to look at this car! I love it. Only thing thats putting me off is the high mileage. Clearly you have really loooked after it. I know its a bit of a "how long is piece of string question" but what sort of mileage can you get from these cars before you need to start thinking about a re-build?

In all honesty I couldnt tell you, ive seen scoobs with 140k+ and still going strong. imo as long as you look after them than they should look after you.
Im not someone who drives it like i stole it everytime i get in the car. i have a happy medium.
I cant promise you that it wont need a rebuild within 10k but i can promise that ive looked after it the best i can to prevent it
I love the car, and with the tax prices changing now(the bugeye will no longer be going up to £415 next year but staying at £215) im hoping i can maybe keep it

I can second the fact that Dave doesn't go around nailing it at every opportunity - the car gets driven sensibly the majority of the time.
He's spent a lot of money on maintaining and upgrading the car, and whoever's buying it will get a lot thrown in for the price.
"Family commitments" mate? Are congrats required then?
