Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
It looks very nice but 'all that glitters is not gold'.
I had a look at the mot history and there was some serious rust underneath in the 2013 mot failure.
There was an advisory when it passed in 2014 which mentioned it was heavily undersealed. I wonder what that was hiding?
It wasn't MOT'd again until March this year. It had done 180k miles.
I would be wary of this car.

Re: The Latest 1st gen sightings
that's some mark up... it was advertised on here in 2019 for £7500 and was also up for sale in 2012 for £3250.
Amazing what a new shiny coat of paint and a good write up can do

So, the buyer paid £25,380
