MK2 827 Manual

I mostly like the look of this. Don't like the spoiler or the badges though.

Bit baffled on the bit about it now being like an Si though. I don't think changing the door cards and adding a few bits of wood warrants that claim IMO.

This is the third time that it has been listed.

When I enquired after it and whether Nick would take a part ex (he might!) I found out that the reserve was around £900 - personally I think that is ambitious as I have seen 827 coupes go for less.

Nick does always present his cars very nicely, I would guess that the difference between the i/Si was very little apart from some interior cosmetics.....
Rock On!

Off the top of my head an Si has electric roof, electric rear windows. I know it's being picky but it's not quite as he says that's all.

I'm not going to give myself a headache trying to read that listing BECAUSE IT'S ALL IN CAPITALS!

Nice looking car - lose the "Bought at Halfrauds" chome plated "V6" and "24v" badges, fit some fogs and a Vitesse interior and it will be even nicer IMO.

Can't see a loud exhaust and some spark plugs giving you 190bhp, especially with that K&N style air filter sucking in all the performance sapping hot air around the engine...

Standard Saxo/Nova maths -

noisy exhaust + 10 bhp
open cone filter +5bhp
Ebay "chip" +20bhp
Lowered +5 bhp
Spoiler +5 bhp
