Looking at a new project, and what I am not using much, and came to the conclusion that I might sell the red 16v which I have owned for around 18 months.

I bought this from Alex (33 bits) early in 2013, and used it through last summer, including being down at NAD.

Alex had done a lot of tidying up, and the car has got a good looking respray in 130 Rosso.

Since owning it, I have done the following:
- Repaired both sills and the OS rear corner at the front lower edge of the rear arch (patches welded, sill filled with waxoyl, paint and protection, and skirt re-attached with correct fixings)
- Repaired rear valance (seam was missing so patched, waxoyled, painted and protected and bumper remounted
- Re-bushed the front suspension with polybushes
- Repaired the corrosion in the front suspension arms
- New front wheel bearings
- Vauxhall Vectra front calipers and larger front disks
- braided brake hoses all round
- Late European 33 rear disks, calipers, handbrake fittings
- Alfa 75 V6 master cylinder
- Drivers Recaro seat fabric repaired
- Nardi steering wheel and new nardi gear shift (per P4 spec)
- 15inch black multispoke wheels

It is a beautiful car to drive. Handles well, engine is a little gem, bodywork is good (slight blemish at the bottom of one door, and a very small suspect patch above the fuel filler). Interior is immaculate with the seat repair. Nothing missing or broken. Seats are alcantara/vinyl recaros.

If I sell the car it will have 12 months MOT.

I can post pictures, but it is a rosso 16v with a cloverleaf rear spoiler. It probably warrants a viewing if interested.

Price wise, not sure. Prices are still a bit up and down. I paid quite a lot for it, and with the repairs, other bits and pieces, and MOT would hope for quite a lot, but what is quite a lot in 33 terms? Somewhere around 2k?

Just want to see if there is any interest, as I have no plans to use it this year and would like the space for another little project.

Any interest out there?

Was it the vinyl you had repaired on the Recaro. If so I think Adam the new owner of my car would be interested to find out where you had it done or where your trimmer go the right vinyl.

Yes, it was the vinyl.

Trimmer closed shop for a while as business was a bit down, but I had to by 2m of it as a minimum amount and he gave me what he didn't need. I should be able to find it and give some details of the exact type it is.

It is a very very good match!!

Bear with me and I will look it out over the weekend.
