That's a lovely looking car. Really classy, understated and clean.

Oh for another parking space (or just getting rid of mine!)

.Bit late to post on this Tom, but i did look at it and decided against it for a number of reasons.

Firstly, any car that has had a speedo problem now also then has dubious mileage.

I remember a Mk1 827 i saw on ebay a couple of years ago or so with only 31000 on the clock but it looked like it had done more like 131000 if not more.

This one is picture in what look like very nice grounds to be and yet its had a knock in the street while parked overnight ?

This one is a quick fix and sell on and I doubt the bumper was done recently.

Condition wise, its worth the money it went for i think But Its got no leather and no air conditioning. The dash could be diamond studded but with no aircon its a no in any case regardless of my thoughts on anything else.

BIT HARSH....

I see leather, it has half leather recarros... as standard fit on a Vitesse models

so he took the photos outside someone elses house, hardly a crime....

any car with a speedo problem has been clocked has it....

Nice to know that people support the marque.

I an assure you the bumper was done as I put it up for sale.

And lastly. Im making a loss on the car.

As a man who clearly knows his stuff about 800s, I'm surprised you haven't thought this through a little more.

ANY used car has 'dubious' mileage, unless you are going to start pulling apart every clock and speedo sensor to make sure they are 100% original and backed up with regular records (if MOTs just won't do). If the seller (who has written what I would say is a refreshingly helpful advert) hadn't declared the new speedo sensor, you'd have been none the wiser.

It's like the people who won't buy part worn tyres when the ones on their secondhand car finally wear out - you've been driving around on part-worns until now. (nb - this obviously doesn't apply to the people who buy brand new tyres as soon as they pick up their second hand car, and all power to them)

I usually drive my cars down next to the park if I'm going to sell them, especially now I don't have access to a driveway. It's the nicer surroundings which serve to remind people how lovely these cars can be.

Back to the ad - I'd love this car. I'm giving it some thought.
