I’ve had a think about how much I’d be willing to accept for the car, and it’s only fair that I’m transparent with my fellow forum members (I guess this may make it more attractive to people who dislike any haggling) - I will accept £5,250 for the car from a forum member. Happy to have video calls etc or add any videos to show the condition of the car, (the bodywork is in very good condition for the age).

Also worth mentioning for any potential buyers, I have the original shocks and springs that can go with the car (less than 70k on these), in case someone wants to put it back to standard. Worth noting that the current suspension set up vastly improved the handling in my opinion! I also have the original stereo, which can go with the car also. The one I’ve fitted is alpine and has Bluetooth connectivity to play music from your phone (which can also be controlled from the stereo it self in terms of changing the track etc). It also has a microphone and Bluetooth hands free to take calls on it. It can play mp3 cd’s and also had a usb for MP3’s from a usb stick. I found the audio quality with the aftermarket stereo quite a bit better than standard, and obviously the functionality is much better but will also include the original stereo in case someone wants to put it back to standard. The speakers/amp are the original Bose ones and have not been touched.

Thank you mate. Yeah it’s such a lovely car, and in all honesty much more reliable than the bmw I had before it (and that wasn’t as old either!). Definitely going to miss it immensely. If it was more practical (i.e. had 4 seats and a proper boot so could use it for family duties), I would 100% keep it but unfortunately can’t justify having 2 cars so will have to sell and hope that I can get something similar in the future. Although part of me thinks that post petrol/diesel new car sale ban, these kinds of cars will likely go up in value a lot!

Thanks mate. Will likely be a 4 cylinder diesel, so not sure about it being fun 😂 (although I’m not sure any diesel is fun anyway tbh!). Whatever I get, it certainly won’t hold a candle to a manual v6 with the roof down on a country road! Although I hardly get the chance to drive outside of traffic nowadays so comfort and being easy to drive is the focus for me on the next car sadly (along with space and practicality, i.e. more seats).
