820Si Auto Fastback in BRG

The two threads above will show you the car and some of what has been done to it since coming into my keeping.

Good points:
Only 47,240 miles
MOT until 19 March 2013
Drives very nicely
No rust & clean arches
4 good tyres

Bad points:
Scuff on front bumper
Scuff & crack on rear bumper (pics to follow)
Bright strips need replacing
Two wheels need refurb as they allow slow leak
Some Advisories on last MOT, which, to be honest do not mean much, but I will copy if required.

The car is far too good to be scrapped, and, as I have said, drives very nicely. I would like it to go to a good home as, in my current circumstances, it is becoming a little impractical to keep.

Looking for c£550

As most will know, I am in South Croydon (South London), Surrey

Hi,

Just wondering if the car is still for sale, and if so if you have any recent photos?

Many thanks,

The last two show the scuff to the front bumper, and the scuff & crack to the rear, as well as the bright trim

Well, the ole gal has gone to a new home in Yorkshire. Chris came down today & collected her. A bit sad to be honest, but I don't really have the facilities to keep her in the manner which she deserves. I am sure Chris will look after her. Damn nice chap you know :D

Thanks for that Brian!

The car has been a delight so far and the 'certain something' that 800s have this one has by the bucket load.

My 11 year old step-daughter - someone who is obsessed with all things ''cool'' and modern, quickly decided that the old girl was ''awesome!'', thanks to a) looking classy and shiny and b) being enormous :-) Can't argue on either score!
